Repairs & Modifications

[GraemeE]

These are going to take some serious blood, sweat and tears but I promised a friend I could keep them alive for her for at least a few more years

[Brock]

Wow! Yea those need some love! Can’t wait to see that pocket irl. Now to get it back on the jacket

[GraemeE]

Just starting to see signs of a blowout on a pair of 17oz 666s so I'm testing out this method to see how well it contains it

[Denman John]

@GraemeE Your work is inspiring. I’ve been playing with the idea of repairing a few items that are needing attention and this is pushing me in the right direction. Well done!

[GraemeE]

@Denman-John thank you - that's the exact same scenario that kicked me in the butt to learn how to start fixing my stuff

It's practical and relaxing (expect for the finger pokes)

[GraemeE]

I'm on the final lap of those shredded carhartts - thankfully my friend digs the rustic look

@GraemeE turning into some denim art

[Brock]

Finally got the pocket that @GraemeE fixed up for me sewn back onto the jacket! Love it!
Excited to have a functional pocket again

[Denman John]

Damn, looks great. I’d wear that!

[GraemeE]

@Denman-John you have nothing to lose - give it shot on something low stakes at first - worst case scenario you cut the thread and take it out

The backing on Brocks pocket is this material

These guys are next up and are a recent pickup for my wife.
70s/80s bibs that need some love

@GraemeE Already looking forward to the update pictures!

[Mizmazzle]

@GraemeE so damn cool man! Love how the 777 crotch repair turned out. Brock’s pocket puts a damn smile on my face. Just has this happy energy to it.

[GraemeE]

@Mizmazzle thanks man

I'm stoked to find something to add my list of hobbies that's exponentially less expensive than most of my other ones.

Bonus is that , in true Portland commie/hippie fashion, I have managed to trade fixing a few things for kids music lessons, herbal things and farm eggs$$$

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Amazing

[Brock]

Herbal things

[goosehd]

@Brock you know like basil, thyme, and oregano...

[GraemeE]

The picture quality makes it obvious that my wife took these shots ( I have permanent potatoe vision when taking pics) but im pleased with how they turned out

[Brock]

Very cool Graeme!

[Brock]

@goosehd the best part is the herbal things came from my garden…
