        Needed to fix the crotch on my 555-01.
        It was my first repair ever. I‘m pretty happy with the result.

          I love the pins and the note. It adds that extra bit of personalization, that really gives her amazing work an extra touch….of course in addition to the amazing work she does.

                  I was actually wondering the other day whether you had fixed that. Great result!

                    yeah, took a minute to get back from the tailor, but I'm happy…neck hole is a little funkier than I'm used to, but works.

                    Also, she let out the hem a couple inches so I've got the length I really wanted too....all around successful  😎

                      The fabric on that thing is so good that a funky neckline makes no difference at all.

                        yeah, I'm over the moon with it, and honestly if it really bothers me I'm sure I can send it back and have her tighten it up a bit…but I don't know if I want to be without it for that long again  😃

                          Who do you guys recommend for a properly blended darning style crotch repair in the UK? (Or China/Hong Kong for that matter, I'm back and forth)

                          I've always been disappointed with previous jeans crotch repairs, and wouldn't want that with my lovely IH jeans. Cheers!

                              I took my 801’s to my tailor for a couple modifications. I wanted the leg opening down to 9” from 9.8 and had him take them in at the waist at least an inch. I think he did a great job because to do it properly he had to open them up at the knee to taper correctly. You can’t really tell from the pictures but I guess that’s a sign of a good job. The best part is that he left the material at the waist that he took in on the inside of the pants so they could be let out again in the future. He said he did this because “these pants will outlive me (he’s 80 years old) and you may gain some wait back when you are an old man” a true testament to the materials and workmanship. Here are a couple pictures.

                                    The hole appeared rather suddenly.  The other faded areas around the crotch are also thinning quite considerably.

                                      Hmmmm.  I could repair that, but I would not say my darning skills are anything to write home about.  The repairs in Japan are sometimes brilliant, sometimes not.  The only person I trust 100% is Raine from Indigo Proof…

                                        @Giles (or anyone) - have you any experience or opinion of the www.denimdoctor.co.uk?

                                        I've got a smaller version of the above appearing on my r&h666 colaborations…who's proper name I've forgotten.

                                            Ok, great. I was probably paying too much attention to your previous post, but I'm more than happy sending them your way.

                                            I'll give you a shout when I get a chance and may even drop them off or collect them personally if you'll allow. I'd love to have a nosey around the place if possible and it'll make a change from GOSH.
