Hemming pants by hand (not sewing machine), yay or nay?

Thought that I could just cut to new lenght, iron the new fold, use chalk to mark where to sew and get at it.. but will it be ugly?

(too long carhartt roper pants)

Use machine, it will be tidier IMHO

[Lucifer]

Hmm, torn.. I have a machine home at my mums, but I won't be there until easter. I'm visiting my sister this weekend though, and I think she has a machine. If she has a machine, I'll do it there, if not, I'll try to do it by hand.

Thanks guys

are any products planned to be made out of the wabash material, that do not have the wabash discharge pattern on it?  seems it would make some really interesting products . . .

[Giles]

I have that as a plan…

exciting times we are witnessing    that pipeline/pike has to be crowded at this point with all the goodness coming down.

hahahaha, goodness coming down

[thomasnunnally]

Maybe some people can chime in here on a question I have.  For the summer, I am in desperate need of new shoes, as I have noticed that all I really have left at this point are one pair of clark boat shoes.  What I suggest may not exactly fit what everyone thinks of as "summer," but whatever, I live in Canada now.

So I have narrowed it down as such.  Something in the Tan-Brown Suede or Leather.  Crepe sole just because I like them.  Chukka or boat type shoe.  Will be worn with jeans.

Major options I am seriously intersted in:

Russell Moccasin - Sporting Clay chukka in Tan Laramie suede

Yuketen Angler moc

Red Wing Handsewn

Again, you may not agree with the style, but just to give people an idea of what I want.

Any other suggestions?

Opinions on which way I should go?

[Giles]

These:

Russel Munson Laramie Chukkas

[thomasnunnally]

The people over at Russell didn't mention the Munson for a suede build, but of course, they can't remember everything.  I will have to give it a look now.

Giles, do you know which build beatle used?

[Seul]

Have you looked into the Red Wing chukkas, Tom?.. I'm seriously pleased with both my pairs…
