The Boulevard of Broken Jeans - The Unit 2 Repair Thread

@JoshC Do you think my jeans will still be reparable when this seam is even more compromised from bike riding?

[RobeOfTheMagi]

My bike saddle puts all the stress only on that pronounced seam. I'm a bit worried the seam might give in before there is an actual hole in the fabric.

[Giles]

That is not very compromised. I think the fabric will go first....

everyday is a repair day ️ quite enjoyed fixing up this busted up hem.

Solid job @JoshC !!

[Jakederoche]

@JoshC were you able to fold over the hem after the repair and redo The chain stitch??

[JoshC]

@Jakederoche so I can re-hem over the jeans thats not a problem, it does slightly change the hem position from its original, but that is kind of expected when your reconstructing the leg opening, but it doesn't effect the overall leg too much, I will be reheming them today so ill try and remember to get a photo to show you.

@motojobobo cheers mate

@Jakederoche Here you go, I forgot to upload this over the weekend as I was off, but you can see there is a little bit of movement but nothing crazy, again this would probably depend on how much of the leg opening has been destroyed.

With the new belt loop machine, it was finally time for me to have a play and put it to the test, as this repair needed 3 new belt loops, here is a little sneak peak of one of those belt loops getting replaced.

@JoshC that looks very cool! Lots of character! Beautiful!
