      @JoshC Easy - I can x-post from the 888S-21 thread:

      (Sorry for the mega-zoomed in crotch-shot.)

      As you can see, it's just the fold of the inseam which is starting to fray. Nowhere near being able to see a finger, so I guess I can wait. I just didn't want it to become a thing.  😉

      Take the dive...

        @JoshC:

        Out of interest, when you wash your jeans, do you keep the folds/turn-ups in?

        I turn my jeans inside out, unroll the cuffs, and pre soak in a tub before I wash them in the machine.  Cold water, low/no spin and air dry.

        Great news about the crotch…it didn't look bad, but rather stay on top of it, then let it go too far.

        How much length would you lose if you chopped them?  Is it easier to shorten them (better repair), or darn them?  Do you add a patch because it's a high wear area or just darn?

        Sorry for all of the questions...

        @goosehd Perfect! always better to unroll them otherwise this can sometimes happen quicker with the water sitting in the crease/turn-ups.

        Yeah with yours it's not a big hole but as they will be coming in it's well worth getting them done before it gets bigger!

        It all depends on the length you need, but you will lose an inch from the cut line because of the 2 half-inch folds so if we cut them at 30" they will be 29" once they've gone through the hemming machine as long as the area isn't damaged.

        I can do a patch underneath but what you will find is when you go to put your turn-ups in you may have a piece of a patch potentially on show.

                @AdamJ You forgot, pretty please, I’ll buy you a bottle of rum, and I’ll see myself out… :D. Have you noticed that it’s a little breezy when wearing those?

                          We recently received these well-worn battered pairs of IHXB01-Beatle Buster 21oz for the ReLove program. These bad boys will be the first two pairs of jeans on our denim bunting for the repair room. I think these look awesome. It's a shame they are unrepairable as they have ripped away from the seams on the crotch.

                            They do look great and it's a shame to retire them, but love the story they tell!

                                Good afternoon legends! Apologises for being abit quiet on this thread it has been non-stop. however we have some super exciting repairs coming through at the moment! As you can see we have 3 denim jackets in for repair and one of them is going into the ReLove section once completed!

                                I had a chance to do some repairs this week and some wicked looking IH-666S-BK that needed a crotch repair and hemming

                                We had a knee repair for a pair of 777S-21 that are looking cool..

                                            @JoshC repaired my favourite and most worn jeans.  666-18’s that need some cuff work and to repair some crotch damage.  Absolutely love the work done and the fact I can give them hell all over again.  As we were discussing in the other thread, I love the fact that these jeans represent my story and the fact that I was able to pick them up in Gosport which makes the story a little more special to me.  🙂
