can anyone tell me exactly how to do a crotch patch inside the jeans to prevent an rip i see forming? i know there has to be a thread on this, but when i tried to look apparently the words i used are too common.

You, sir, are lucky enough to have arrived at a strange land, where no less than

70 pages are devoted to the art of repairing denim. A good number of these will be crotch repairs (use the 'search this thread' tab to find them) . Enjoy!

can someone recommend me some raw jeans that fit similar to Dior 19cm?

[num21lock]

when tapering in a pair of jeans, is it possible to retain the inseam stitch and also the hem chainstitch?

If so can anyone kindly describe the process... thanks =)

AFAIK, no. You make the hem after you've sewn the leg seams. you can probably bodge it, but it will be a compromise.

[num21lock]

how about going about it the other way, tapering in from the selvedge side, possible to do so without destroying the selvedge?

Diameter of Levi's buttons & rivets? Thanks!

Yes, you can keep the selvage; but you can't make a neat join on the inside seam without unrolling and restitching the hem. A skilled worker might be capable of a bodge, and part unroll the hem, enough for it to pass muster.

Can't find a thread that answers why the waist on most premium jeans are chain stitched. Please post a link if you know one. Thanks!

thanks for the reply paul =)

could any kind souls advise a method/technique to go about tapering a pair of selvedge jeans (other than of course selling it and getting another pair of jeans...)

I remember there is this place in shanghai that has evisu, and there is place in beijing that has good range of japanese items. sorry i donno their names because my chinese is too shit

from what i recall the prices were just ridiculous.. 2 pairs of Jenim in china can get you a ticket to japan with return.. I donno about prices in taipei tho...

[komenu]

Any word on this. I am unable to view my favorite thread. What to do?

put the jeans on inside out. pin them to the proper taper. take them off. sew along the pin line. use a seam ripper to take the old seam out. close the hem up. wear.
