        I saw the roses ones! They look great - BTW, I used iron on adhesive so it wouldn't leave holes in the fabric or have visible stitching if I wear it cuffs down…. figured it would at least wash out if I ever wanted it to.

        Cheers,

        Adam

                  I recently acquired this lovely Rising Sun Indigo Vest,  😉 @Turntabloid. However, turns out it was a bit on the roomy side. After a trip to my local seamstress, who did the alteration through the back, the Rising Sun Indigo Vest fits great. Sadly, the selvedge seam detail has gone but I can live with that.

                    Have been all over these forums for a while but thought it was finally worth posting!

                    Picked up some IH301S 5 years ago and they've seen a lot. Had their first repair about 3 or so ears ago from Self Edge and that began to blow out.

                    Decided to take it upon myself to junk some old jeans and use that denim to repair these.

                    It's not too pretty but no fucking concern that it's going to bust. Still a bit of detail work to handle with some minor areas.

                      Fell off the bike. Washed the blood out of the sateen then….


                      Luckily only the shirt (and my body) was harmed. Jeans were completely unharmed despite taking the worst of the fall and getting a bit of a blood bath. 😉

                          @Broark @summ3rhays I guess it's telling that I've not been in this thread for quite some time!  Wanted to thank both of your for the kind words and great photos of Rain's work!  Very excited to tackle whatever you guys have to throw at us next!

                            @den1mhead Good work, looks great! Were there no side seams that could be used for the alteration? I'm getting my IHV-02-BLK back from my seamstress any day now. She's taking the extra width out at the sides with a simple fold. While I trust her skills TBH I'm a little nervous of seeing the final result…

                              It was well earned.  The 25oz is a beast and they turned out great.  Wearing them today 🙂

                                Hey @neph93, the seamstress I used insisted on altering via the central back seam due to the amount to be removed. Who am I to argue with her ! So she did her thing and "By jove" it worked.
                                Fingers crossed yours works out  🙂

                                        Visit your mom?  You don't have a sewing machine or four?

                                          Wow, lovely set up. Yes, I do not have a sewing machine but I guess is time. Probably gonna get a computerized sewing machine. How should I repair my jeans? Any good tutorial for reference?

                                            Ripped the pocket on my Strike Gold right beside the rivet. Got my seamstress to remove the rivet and sew the seam back together. Then had her add a patch to cover and reinforce it.
