Is there a point when crotch blow out becomes irreparable or have you guys had some pretty bad ones come back like new?

[Giles]

I had one the other day, I did not even take a pic of it it just looked completely impossible to fix, I even told the customer I thought we not be able to do anything with them.  I sent it to Gon and she repaired them, I was simply speechless when they came back, absolutely incredible job….

PM from customer when he got them back....

_Got the jeans back today - amazing work!

Thank you for out-of-this-world service_

@nerkg:

Anyone have a list of reasons IH jeans are so expensive, I wanna be able to justify to my wife when I buy my next pair, I think she thinks it's just name brand type deal, SHE DOSENT GET IT, obviously there way better made but specific reasons..

Not the answer, but people choose to spend their cash on stuff that that represents good value to them.  I for one would not think of spending $86.9m on this in a million years, but apparently there is someone out there who just did….

Having abilities like Gon is very attractive in my book.

Does anyone know where I can find a decent pair of jeans with suspender shanks? Looking for my dad and trying to stay away from LVC if at all possible.

[jacoavlu]

better off to find jeans you like and have the suspended shanks added

Which is dead easy to do

[jacoavlu]

well, I think the whole becomes easier when your limiting step becomes finding a tailor that can add suspender shanks, and you jean choices are unlimited, rather than searching for quality jeans in the cut your dad wants that already have suspender shanks, where your choices will be few

[jacoavlu]

or better yet, you can do it yourself

Nice Giles,  Thats pretty darn cool.  I will def experiment with those on a pair

I asked myself that day, and have been asking ever since.  Still have no clue….

What is the deciding factor on whether a particular fabric or pattern becomes a western or a work shirt (or both)? And is it just one person's decision or is input taken from all areas?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I've been wondering for a while.
