@MikeC:

I just got my vulcans back from Railcar Fine Foods and I'm fully amazed. I'll put up pics later.

I'll say one thing about Alex, he sure knows how to beat up a pair of jeans….These have just come back from the Works, where they undertook a major refurb.

Received my 9301s today but I noticed the right hem stitch is coming out (~2 inch). Repair now or later? Also, can I trust just anyone to hem 21oz? Thanks

I'd hand-stitch a few stitches.  Start by catching in the chain (just a stitch or 2 over the existing stitching to stop it unravelling) at one end of the "jump", then stitch along the line where the stitching should be and then catch in the other end of the chain….

Very impressive tight stitching. You did all that by hand?

[llvlaglne]

Yep, took a little bit of time. It's easier to prevent big tears and fraying from occurring as long as its taken care of early.

Thanks G. Will do.

Just noticed this rip on the buttonhole of my new FH Wabash shirt just after some tips on how to fix it?

Cheers

Can anyone help me out here? Do I cut the old stitching away on the one side or just keep it there and stitch over it?

[Max Power]

I had this on my old FH wabash as well. I just stitched by going through the denim and the hole, if you get what I mean. Holds perfectly.

Smart guy here, tried to put my knife in my pocket without closing it and this is what I got. Guess I'm lucky I didn't get stabbed haha

Try to repair or leave? Don't think it'll get worse vertically

[Finn666]

leave…

Haha damn son…

[bagley920]

I know right, lucky I didn't clip an artery!

[Seul]

If you clip your knife to your pocket the same way I do it, you should be grateful to still have two legs!..

[madmonday]

sorry no images from the outside. i started to do it & then said maybe i should take a few pics to document it . . .

not pretty but it doesn't bother my undercarriage & should hold until December when I send them in for a rebuild.

again not pretty, but it serves it's purpose

[TJ]

Any recommendations?  I'm going to fix them up myself because I'm stubborn like that, but wondering if there might be any tricks of which I am ignorant.

By the way, only damage from a 65-70 mph motorcycle wreck.  IH is the shit.

[madmonday]

glad you okay.

i understand stubborn, but you might want to enlist help from a pro . . .

to continue with images here's my self repair:

way too many imagines i'm really sorry, but i couldn't decide on the best representation. i was hoping it would last until December or so doesn't look like it will go another week . . .
