      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

          Use your BB flash pocket to cover your stitching, Alex… Just shove it in your front pocket, and use 2 cms to cover your stitching, and shove your Sebenza's clip over it...

                      It's the only way to wear it without causing damage… At work I pull my knife hundreds of times/ day so my options are limited... Practicality > looks.

                            and re-sewed it with poly-thread.

                                    Suggestions anyone?  The button hole on my 634s is beginning to fray. Giles,  is this something you guys could fix?

                                          Anyone know of a way to prevent the entry from tearing more?  It's not that bad at this point (in my eyes), but I'd prefer to do something preemptive rather than let it wear more.  I've also seen injunjack's repair on this thread, however I'm wanting to actually repair the tear.
