I've got a pair of Strike Golds with the Denim Doctor for tapering and repair. He seems like a good guy, you guys have had some positive experience with him right?

IIRC then Seul had his 634s tapered by him and he was more than happy with the outcome…so i think you shouldn´t worry about it!

hectic: Michael is an outstanding bloke. I'm sure you will be sufficiently pleased with the outcome!..

Is that hectic's pair???

[hectic]

Nah man :), mine are Strike Golds.

[Seul]

My bad.

Seems like Michael has his hands full with heavyweight denim then!.. Still thinking about sending him my PBJs to taper them from top to bottom (as waist is too big as well)…

just to clarified Seul, this is from the Denim Doctors in L.A. blog not the UK guy

My IH-634S have never had any sort of attention so I decided to finally give them a little. The Front pockets were both on the verge of fully blowing out. The right was a bit stronger but both were in dire need of some fixing. Below are photos of the home repairs.

Thanks guys. Nothing professional I know. Just prefer the personal touch that comes from doing it yourself. I used the Red threading on the Right pocket just for something different. Actually looking to do a bunch more sewing and what not in the future. Thinking about possibly even borrowing my sisters machine and practicing.
