pocket pouch repair

I just wonder how in the hell this is possible….pockets falling apart so soon, between 12-18mo's...

Any way to repair these? It seems Iron Heart and Redwing don't get on.  :o


Less than 6 months wear BTW.

D97- repair what? It just looks like awesome evo hem if you don't like it. the only way is just to re hem slightly shorter

Yes on reflection I think it's fine, just didn't expect it so soon. Anyway it's a good excuse to buy another pair

Seriously from the second pic looks like it's just happening at the front? I think the fast hooks on your boots are doing it.

Options 1. new boots  2.cuff your jeans 3. take your boots to a cobbler and change hose hooks to blind/exposed eyelets.

Cheers Jimmy I think I'll choose option 1

i have exactly the same fraying on my IHs from the Iron Rangers.
it's the fast hooks. (front of the hem is above, btw). but I won't bother/repair it.

i know this problem with my SR!!! :-\

[injunjack]

Can somebody explain this?

[Giles]

The denim is so tough and the pocket opens are tight.  Even with the heaviest twill that we can sensibly use, if the person uses the front pockets regularly, there is a tendency for the twill to give up.  On the Devils Fit and the DC4, because they are a tighter jean we have incorporated a tape at this point in an effort to increase the life of the twill

mine sr are damage @ the frontpocket from my sebenza knife.

Use your BB flash pocket to cover your stitching, Alex… Just shove it in your front pocket, and use 2 cms to cover your stitching, and shove your Sebenza's clip over it...

[ALEX1976]

[Seul]

Well, you could start wearing it like me:

[ALEX1976]

nooo dude…...looks not nice

[Seul]

It's the only way to wear it without causing damage… At work I pull my knife hundreds of times/ day so my options are limited... Practicality > looks.

the busters with knife pocket insinde is a great solution
