Repairs & Modifications

Great job on your jacket @Cutlasshound

Looks like a very nice job and one which to me seems not too simple. So they removed and shortened the zip as well I assume when they tapered it, well worth it, looks great fit on you
Thanks mate.

@Cutlasshound wow, that's AMAZING. They did an excellent job.

Best and worse crotch repair job
Worst. Rendering this pair unwearable until I modified the repair: jeans are my 666 Superblack work pair
-
Wearable now
-
damn those superblack repairs are plenty ugly.
is the top buttonhole functional? the images look like it's just darning on darning
@Cutlasshound sleeve shortening looks excellent enjoy

@Haddtoo 555 Where did you get those repairs done?
-
One looks like Indigo Proof's work.
The other… does not. -

@madmonday top hole is next to the repair and usable and you’re right….ugly.

@DrPat Chris is right….when Rain worked at SESF, the other was right after she left. They must have gotten someone better or that person has grown given the opportunity. I’m glad the pants weren’t a nice pair . It’s been a couple years . I’m over it
they are good enough to finish them off . -

they are good enough to finish them off .That's what I suspected. A few years ago I got a horrible repair job done at SENY (I'm not sure if the different SE stores used the same person). There were balls of hard thread where the darning changed direction and they ripped into my thighs like a cheese grater. I had to have a patch installed over the darning to make the jeans wearable.
When I was in SENY a few months ago the staff was bragging that they have the best darners. I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to give them another chance.

I would give them a try….I’m sure the void has been filled . My problem was the patch, but that damm darning didn’t help either

I think you'll need to patch that, otherwise it will continue to fray. I'm not an expert, though.

@Joule here's a repair I did.

If you look at the subsequent messages below I explain how to do it.

I just noticed a loose thread on my Ihj-17. What's the best way to stop the unraveling? I am considering a drop of crazy glue on the corner of the diamond and just cutting the thread as its not visible when the collar is down. Or should I just take it to the tailor or try to stitch myself?
Thanks
