Wow G, looking great. What a nice repair job. I must get a pair at some point…

[shoque]

G, how much wear in total?

[Giles]

They are a shade over a year old, I reckon about 250 days wear.  G

[Seul]

Giles apparently has 445 days in a year, unlike the rest of us

He's an alien, lives on a different time warp continuum to us mere mortals…

Gilles, just curious, but what is the repair on the cuff-section done with? is that just stiched back and forth or is it darned? I have similarly placed damage on my SExIH07s… what's bizarre is that much of it is on the INSIDE of the cuff, right at the seams, lot of fraying and extraneous fuzz... Your repairs look very clean and like they will last a while, just wondering what the methodology is so I can tell SE when I bring it in for repairs...

Where the denim had not actually got a hole in it.  It was darned using a darning machine, effectively multiple back and forwards stitching done in the same colour cotton as the exposed side of the denim.  Where I had actually worn through the cuff and there were holes in the denim, a patch of material was applied and then the darning machine darned through that onto the denim.

One day I will need these services…

[deadendpro]

It'll be a while with all 5000 of your jeans in rotation lando! Hahaha lol

[Giles]

My thoughts exactly….G

[braille_teeth]

Thanks a LOT for the info, Gilles. Definitely going to get some of that done. (I'm sure this is answered somewhere else, but does Haraki charge for repairs of IH stuff? Is shipping insane?)

[Giles]

Yes and yes!!

You are honestly creeping me out! "Just a taste" and then a GIANT flick of your ass? I don't want to see this flick everytime I pass through the EVO thread… C'mon Son!!!
