Best chainstitch hemming
-
Hello guys, I recently bought a pair of IH-555 21 oz. I wanted to send this to Giles for chainstitch hemming, I have send other non IH jeans in the past to the Iron Heart site chainstitch service and the result is always great, an excellent job.
When I tried a different store it wasn´t the same, even if they are using the same Union Special 43200G. The thing is, with the new brexit limitations, I can´t send the jeans to the IH store.
Would you guys know of other store that makes a great job with chainstitch hemming? I guess I am being a little perfectionist here, but I like jeans to look as good as possible

DC4 in Berlin and Statement Store in Munich do excellent chainstitch hemming. I can totally recommend them.

Agreed… they do. So do the guys at IHUK.

Unlike darning, chain stitching is undoable. So you’re not taking such a big risk with a less than perfect job. The only problem is if they are cut too short.
Poor Matt redid the chain stitching on a pair of my jeans 5 times at one of the fish and chips.
And a well known repair service permanently turned the crotch of my jeans into a cheese grater. I’m still bitter.

I’m afraid I know what you’re talking about @DrPat

OK, so, I just want to make sure. If I remove the chainstitch with a thread picker, and then send the jeans to a chainstitch hemming service, they can´t redo the hemming?
Whats the reason? maybe the denim retains noticeable holes from the previous hemming? what if I make ir a bit shorter?

I am looking to hem my 555-21 and want to ensure that they are done on the right machine with the right quality and attention to detail to get the best result. While I am not against sending to IHUK, I would like to ask whether anyone has any good experiences getting a chain stitch done in Canada (Toronto specifically). I’d obviously like to avoid shipping costs but if that’s unavoidable IHUK it is!

I think Dutil Denim will do it. They sell IH and other selvedge brands. I don’t know if they’ll have the exact same thread as the original from IH.
Personally, I spent enough on these jeans that if want them hemmed, I’ll just send them back to the mothership IH.
