@Filthy:

@sethatwork nice work. Did you use the pant leg I gave you?

Yes! Used the black hemmed scrap [emoji41]

Oh that's the swedish serge. Excellent.

Or was it the 21 SBG?

21 SBG, wanted to match the knee patch weight with the original weight, I will probably use the 18oz pant leg on on the butt & the small hole, since the small hole was created by a chisel incident & the butt isn’t as big a problem as the knee.

Awesome.

Great repair [mention]sethatwork [/mention] !

Did the other imminent hole, next up is going to be patching the tear in my cuff from heel drag, I don’t want that to travel up the leg. Was interesting to really look at the fibers up close, could really see how the warp&weft are different due to the OD & abrasions. Will get a macro shot soon.

Dude –-you might be on to something there.

Im looking at the repairs, and they look fantastic.
But more than that even, the design of the two colors against the black are pretty cool.

I could envision even more in other colors.
Secretly hoping you get more holes, just to see more of that patchwork.

Thank you! I’ve got more to patch on here, so I’ll share those when done too

Still have to do the cuffs (another time in the near future). For the butt patches, I used 18oz IH denim that @Filthy kindly cut off a pant leg for me.

Looks great, I love the sashiko-style mending.  I'm glad I have the hem cutoffs from my xhs so I can use that for mending down the road

Yeah, mine aren’t hemmed so I have been lucky that Filthy gave me his cuts

Used some more of the 18oz fabric @Filthy gave me to patch the one heel-dragged-to-death cuff of mine, and was able to line up the selvedge ID line and match the thickness of the cuff just for shits & giggles. Still have to do the other cuff. Didn’t attach the very bottom of the hem to the new hem, because I kinda like the way the new hem is peaking out from the old one.
