Poor patch stitching

[Jerry3times]

Hello all, first time posting . Hope you’re all well and can help answer a question.

• list item
  Has anyone had issues with your patches coming unstitched like this?
  Brand new pair of 633 21oz from Self Edge , only worn like 12 times and no soak or was yet.
  Is this a common issue?
  After spending the money for a $400 pair of jeans, this is the last thing I was expecting and so soon too

Firstly, I've never had this happen on any jeans I've owned, second, I'm pretty sure it's an easy repair I've changed patches myself on lower weight jeans.

It looks fine in the first pic, just a loose thread? Have you been pulling on it or something?

@Jord

Actually the first picture is on a different pair of IH denim , also brand new . I see that coming loose as well.
The 3rd picture and on are from the pair in question and I have not been pulling on the tag or anything . It’s basically a brand new pair of of the 21oz that I bought like 3 weeks ago.
I’m wondering if this is a problem with the items made for the colab with Self Edge . These pairs are both the exclusive 633 in 21 and 25 oz that is only sold at S.E

Happen to me once take it any repair shop will be easy for them to use the same holes

@Kasi thank you, I was able to use my leather tools and thread to reattach it with much stronger thread. Agreed, it is an easy fix but one that shouldn’t have to be done on this brand of denim and definitely not so soon after purchasing them. This will not stop me from buying IH in the future but I will definitely pay more attention to tags and other areas more closely, moving forward .

The thread at the ends that’s pop out, I burn them and lock them using a cigarette lighter

Haven't had any issues with patches, but I will say I've never had as many buttons come loose & need restitching on a shirt as I have on my IH 68 wabash.

...Though that particular model of shirt was retired owing to button-related issues, as I understand it.

Sorry.

We sell about 30,000 pairs of jeans a year and is the second time I have seen this happen. It's a bummer and I am very sorry, but occasionally stuff sneaks through QC, it's a pain but we employ human beings who occasionally make mistakes. If they of the seamstress saw this, they would be mortified. The stitching on the patch in the first pic you post is not faulty, it is where the stitch has been back stitched at the end of the patch. If you don't like that thread sticking up, either cut it off or burn it with a lighter.

All our jeans are made to the same standards, in the same workshops (there is only one work shop we use for anything over 18oz), we do not dumb down for collabs.

Never had any issues like this with one my IH's and some of them are 10 years +. If that would happen to me with a new pair of jeans I would simple pick up the phone, call the retailer and ask how this could be fixed. But maybe it is not common to talk to people anymore...

A rare issue with a simple solution

fwiw, i had it twice. 555D and 555SBG, both first time I wore them. haven't fixed it yet cuz self edge LA didn't have the machine.

[Giles]

You don't need a machine. It's a piece of piss to do by hand....

I had to sew on 100 patches once. No machine, just got on with it.....

[the1983]

laziness a factor too. buy 'em for the denim
