Repairs & Modifications

@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

My very old, battered IHSW-23 ripped at the collar as a result of the wear and tear caused by years of forcing my shiny dome through it. I took it to my seamstress with the offcuts from my IH-634S-21BLK and had her do a job (and sew a patch on at the same time. She just sent me a picture of the results. I’m looking forward to picking it up tomorrow.
EDIT: Just need to pimp it a little more: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=11522.msg554202;topicseen#msg554202

Took my pair of MF “speedways” to my tailor. The pants had snaps on the side instead of belt loops. I thought I would give them a try because the denim looked nice. I couldn’t live without a belt. Had the tailor hem them and add loops with the cut material. I think they turned out great.

They look awesome!

Thanks @appfaff. I’ll be wearing them a ton more now.
