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…

OK, so I wasn't sure where to post this since it seemed kinda off topic. Since it's this pair of jeans this is logically a relevant place to ask.
So it seems that a little bit of the inseam overlock stitch is coming loose, on the left leg, on some localized spots. So it's not a big deal but I've actually never had this happen before, but anyway, maybe it is and you guys can correct me in that case.
I send these same pics to a shop kinda close asking for their opinion, and they said (without actually having the denim in person, mind) they will need to take apart the hem, take apart the inseam and use a darning machine?
Excuse my ignorance but it would appear from some research that a simple overlock stitching machine should be able to get the job done…
I was also going to have these guys hem my two other pairs of jeans but I'm pretty paranoid after a previous alteration went south and I'm automatically suspicious after they wanted to take the whole bottom apart.

Certainly no expert, but my 666XHS are doing the same around my cuffs and inside where my boots rub. So would assume this is a fairly common occurrence, but would love others take on it as well.
Right. My most immediate question would be is there any negatives to just leaving this as-is?
