IH-666S-21 Reinforce frayed cuffs?
My IH are a little over a year old and I'm noticing early wear where I cuff them. Curious if you think it is worth sending to IH or rail car to get them reinforced and fixed now or should I just try to avoid cuffing in the same spot. I prefer for the repairs to not be noticible, so was hoping if I do something now it would be less visible. Thanks friends.

@mobius111 From my experience, your wear is the cost of cuffing and at this point isn't bad (as you said "early wear". You could try cuffing in a different spot, but I don't think it will work as my cuffs tend to resettle where they want, which is normally where they were in the first place.
@JoshC worth a visit for repair yet? Any suggestions?

@mobius111 Thank you for shooting that across. Personally, I think you still have a fair amount of wear before they start to really go or need attention, but I would ensure that when you're not wearing them, you unfold the cuff, especially when washing! All the dirt gets caught up in the cuff otherwise, and that is what slowly eats away at the denim.
Also, welcome to shoot me any other questions or photos at shop@ironheart.co.uk. Just address them to me, and I will be there to help.

@Denman-John @DeeDee85 thanks guys

@DeeDee85 I Still think you have a little bit of wear still there, but if you start seeing through the denim when holding them up to the light, then we can get them in. it still looks quite strong still just a bit of fuzz where the denim is slowly being worn in.

Anyone here got some photos of how they have repaired tears in the front pocket bags, specifically up at the top along the seam/stitches? My 14oz OD’s blew both out in three months, it’s only going to get worse. I can’t see a great way of doing this besides replacing the entire pocket bags.

@nrtphotos I will see if I have any pictures if not, Im sure I will be doing some repairs today so I will try and get some photos for you. But what I would do, is add another piece of thin cotton on the outside of the pocket but on the inside of the jeans (if this makes sense), and then have that piece of cotton come through the tear on the pocket bag, this will help reinforce the pocket and help keep the pocket usable, I would also unpick the yellow stitching on the pocket so I can darn the fabric together. and then restitch the yellow thread back along the pocket, but being OD you may want to use a more tonal thread as the yellow/gold thread will be very obvious.
