My jeans are about to rip in the corner of my backpocket:

What would you recommend? sew a patch inside (afraid, that the wallet rips it off easily), just stitch it from the outside with a sewing machine, leave it as it is?

[Max Power]

^bump?

[injunjack]

lotsa work, but I would patch it inside, probably whole bottom of the pocket.

This means to unstich the pocket, sew in a patch and sew the pocket back. I think you need unstich only halfway or a bit more of the pocket to get it patched.

[Giles]

It's an easy fix.  What I would do is unpick the pocket stitching so that you can get a sewing machine to access both sides of the pocket….

Put a square of denim (I can send you some with your next shipment) onto the underside of the pocket and sew sew the living shit out of it.  This is a hem reinforcment - but principle is the same…..

Sew pocket back on…....I can send you super tough black thread too.............

Thanks a lot guys! Giles, it would be super cool if you could send me some spare (overdyed?) denim with my next order. Should happen as soon as the Japan tees are available.

[Giles]

No probs…..........

[Max Power]

You're the man Thanks!

[Giles]

• Giles keeps fingers crossed that a short-arse buys a pair of overdyed before MP needs fabric

[Beatle]

lol, if it was me - I´d be using a lighter weight denim for repair.

Beatle´s attempt at saving Giles

but - seriously, 2 things..lighter weight denim works better, not as bulky

and I wouldn´t fix them just yet

[Max Power]

^thanks for the opinion. I have no experience with holes in IH denim, the hole itself doesn't bother me, but I want to prevent it from unraveling and become bigger. I got lighter weight denim, maybe that's better to sew.

[Giles]

Don't disagree Beats, however, if MP sews the shit out of it, it'll be OK.  Otherwise I have 13.5oz indigo….............

[Max Power]

I need this pair to last, so I'll definitely sew the shit out of it But I'll PM you, Giles, when I place my next order. Thanks @ all

Okay, Seul - please record this.

Hello IH forum, this is Seul,  live from my super high end  and extreme low voltage tanning bed studio in beautiful Belgium , which is the country you know, far away from the South Pole. I am delighted to read this line - and I wish you 99 sunny days . Over and out.

Changed it a bit, cause fucked if I can pronounce 'broadcasting' after saying 'Seul' (which is French)… It's like juggling with two drunk midgets...

Sort of the opposite of finally seeing the face of someone you hear on the radio…
It really is strange, but you sound exactly like my one friend from Belgium, no joke…

[Seul]

We sometimes share voices in Belgium… Sharing = caring...

99 sunny days to you
