Gave the Singer some work today.. Alex' pair of 634s is ready to go another 7 month

[Simon]

iron Nice work Beats, particularly like the selvedge detail. That doesn't look like Iron Heart denim used for the patch, is it?

[Giles]

It was some 14.5 oz Free Bee I had lying around

[Beatle]

nope, Simon, I wouldn't use 21oz on 21oz for repair, just too bulky..the reason we put the patches on the outside is that Alex wears his jeans cuffed …

If you cant get done locally, which I am sure you have checked out, and you cant do yourself, then I would send to Haraki and co…..

[stever]

unfortunately there's noone around these parts that can do it… when my nudies blew out a couple of years ago i ended up sending them to my mum to patch em up 

[Kybosh]

My sr's are starting to come apart in the crotch area. I'm really hoping to slow this down as much as I can.

where they are at,

What is the best way to go about this? A patch sewn on from underneath?

[jacoavlu]

yap, patch on the inside, sew the shit out of it
has been discussed here before but will have to look for a link later…

pocket pouch repair

I just wonder how in the hell this is possible….pockets falling apart so soon, between 12-18mo's...

[D97x7]

Any way to repair these? It seems Iron Heart and Redwing don't get on.  :o


Less than 6 months wear BTW.

D97- repair what? It just looks like awesome evo hem if you don't like it. the only way is just to re hem slightly shorter

Yes on reflection I think it's fine, just didn't expect it so soon. Anyway it's a good excuse to buy another pair 

[jimmy]

Seriously from the second pic looks like it's just happening at the front? I think the fast hooks on your boots are doing it.

Options 1. new boots  2.cuff your jeans 3. take your boots to a cobbler and change hose hooks to blind/exposed eyelets.

[D97x7]

Cheers Jimmy I think I'll choose option 1

i have exactly the same fraying on my IHs from the Iron Rangers.
it's the fast hooks. (front of the hem is above, btw). but I won't bother/repair it.

pocket pouch repair

i know this problem with my SR!!! :-\

[injunjack]

Can somebody explain this?

[Giles]

The denim is so tough and the pocket opens are tight.  Even with the heaviest twill that we can sensibly use, if the person uses the front pockets regularly, there is a tendency for the twill to give up.  On the Devils Fit and the DC4, because they are a tighter jean we have incorporated a tape at this point in an effort to increase the life of the twill
