      @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

        Some dream of being cool, I make it look dangerous.🖕

          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... 🙄

                    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.....

                        whats the purpose of a forum?

                          Well, definitely not to register here without even introducing oneself just to complain about minor issues that could have been easily handled just by getting in contact with the guys who sold the jeans or IHUK.

                            Gentlemen…please take a second to breathe as I would like this to de escalate sooner than later.

                            Yes you brought up a valid point about your patch and yes a forum is a proper place to discuss it. Also, a quick note to the shop is a valid approach.

                            All are correct…

                            Thank you
