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

                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

                We can do anything

                  ^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.

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

                      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...

                                          Sup guys and gals?

                                          I was wondering whether the IH-666 can be made out of the new sbg denim? I own the IHXB01 as well as the IH-666Sod and would like to try the sbg denim. The problem is that I prefer the devil's cut…

                                          What you say, G.?
