Repairs & Modifications

[Seul]

If you clip your knife to your pocket the same way I do it, you should be grateful to still have two legs!..

sorry no images from the outside. i started to do it & then said maybe i should take a few pics to document it . . .

not pretty but it doesn't bother my undercarriage & should hold until December when I send them in for a rebuild.

again not pretty, but it serves it's purpose

Any recommendations?  I'm going to fix them up myself because I'm stubborn like that, but wondering if there might be any tricks of which I am ignorant.

By the way, only damage from a 65-70 mph motorcycle wreck.  IH is the shit.

[madmonday]

glad you okay.

i understand stubborn, but you might want to enlist help from a pro . . .

to continue with images here's my self repair:

way too many imagines i'm really sorry, but i couldn't decide on the best representation. i was hoping it would last until December or so doesn't look like it will go another week . . .

^^this can be fixed pretty easily TJ…just add a piece of denim big enough to cover the spot on the inside and sew the fuck out of you should do the trick!

patched my crotch from my 555-03`s as well the other day...images when i have a minute!

First repairs on my Eternal 883, done by Mr. Ruttloff and his Juki bartack machine. Nice and clean way to fix loose threads.

Thank you, it´s the Ricoh GR, in camera raw processing with the cross effect. I love it.

[Finn666]

great shots and repairs Steffen!

[ChuckDenim]

Eternals are crazy, they falling apart before you get real fades.

Love the first shot CD, great looking repairs …

My buttonholes were starting to fray so I reinforced them.

When I first glanced at your post, I thought it said "buttholes".  Really glad I was wrong about that…

65-70!?!! Hope you’re alright.  :o

Good to see the jeans held up that well. Impressive, I've had jeans (not IH) get trashed at about 5mph crash… makes me feel safer that I'm wearing iron hearts now!

Got a laundry list of repairs I've been needing to do that I finely decided to start knocking out…

Up first, some anonymousisms I tore a hole in on an errant nail that was sticking out of the floor...

and the fix…

from the outside…

They're darn comfy now if you ask me…

Up next, it's my XHS…

You talking our floor?  I now keep a hammer in the kitchen…...

[emceeQ]

Indeed I am, and the hammer sounds like a sensible addition…

Busted inseam on my XHS…

First I rejoined the two pieces of denim together with a blanket stitch, and then used a back stitch to secure the inseam back down.

Here is the inside…

and the outside…

and as happens in all my pants, the dreaded crotch blow out…

hand darned it right back up.  From the inside…

and the outside…

[madmonday]

Nice work.

My first attempt at the button hole stitch on my 666-XHS. The top work was a bit messy, but I got the hang of it through the curve and bottom part.
