      Some chain stitching at the crotch junction has let loose. Pictures are below. I have thread to use. My question is do you guys think I can effectively  mend this with a needle and thread? These are my 888NT 1 Soak and one wash before I wore them 75F water

      Maybe so. Maybe not

        Yes, you can.  You'll need super tough thread and a man-sized needle.

          I have worked on my XHS there so it’s doable for sure. Super sharp robust needle needed and a high pain tolerance. Thimbles made of kevlar would probably help too.

              I have thread that guy guys sent me to repair my 634s. Will
              That do? Or will I need a different type?

                I got me seamstress to find me some appropriate strength thread. Colour didn’t match but it was the the crotch so nfg. Now G mentions it, my Leatherman was indespensible for drawing the needle through. Wish I had kevlar thimbles though…

                    Thanks fellas. I appreciate the help. My fingers are cracked to bits cuz of the cold so the pliers is great advice. I will go to the craft store to get a killer needle.

                        Also known as a sewing awl…

                        Working on my Mister Freedom jacket, the fabric was far less "robust", and it's was EXTREMELY difficult to do by hand... I upgraded to a sewing awl, and it was a breeze

                          So the 21/23 is significantly more difficult to see through as compared to the 21oz?

                                I’m in the middle of breaking 10 month old Edward’s boob habit so it was the middle of the night when I saw that and I read «sew». You’re good [emoji1417]
