@northsouthdenimguy you finally made the 634 jump

Achually…

I have a couple others, but I like the 634 for the evenings and weekends and 666 on the job site. Don’t ask me why, I’ve got issues.

@northsouthdenimguy How come you need to soak them? Are they too big? Or do you want to soak them to prevent you from returning them haha

Great pair man!

I typically soak all my indigo denim before the first wear regardless of what it is. ‍️

I also do an inside-out soak of every pair of jeans before wearing, regardless of whether it’s needed for shrinkage purposes.

It opens up the material and gets rid of the brand-new “flat-packed” look.

@goosehd
Can i use anyone to hem those jeans or should i use IH for it, because they are selvedge jeans?
What do most people do?

Thanks for your advice

goosehd

@Luke_is_back you could use just about anyone, but I have always used IHUK or IHG to hem my pants.

@Luke_is_back I would ask someone that can chain stich so you can get roping on them

northsouthdenimguy

This is why I do it too

This type of stitch often leads to roping:

@Luke_is_back make sure that the tailor you are using can do chain stitching as described here:

There is a glossary of the most common terms on the IH website:
