Sounds like the sugarcane stitching

The other day I bought a pair of charity shop jeans, women's raws with some elastane in, for £3 and I'm going to reinforce the crotches on my jeans, two pairs have holes and a couple more are on the way and I ain't paying £60 or whatever it would cost to get them all tailored.

ORLY?
can only find black
i got the silver selvedge ones about 18months ago, not worn them in about 9months. something about them doesnt really make them "dior" if you get me.. but they are nice.
i took them to my local dry cleaners, think it was about £13 to fix the crotch, pick em up on thursdsay.
he asked if i wanted them cleaned, i said no, if he cleans them ill go nuts.

Sent my Ivalease jeans to www.thedenimdoctor.co.uk in Manchester. Got them back within 2 days and i'm well pleased with the result. Was borderline gonna chuck them out as the arse was ripped to shred(no homo) Cost about £23 or something all together with delivery. Poor pics i know but i'm well happy
massivly reccomended A+++++

Great job there, that's definitely a site to remember. Maybe it should go in the original post?

Lol all the Mancs have got a new tailor. Do
you reckon I could trust stitches with a leather jacket? What did they do to your jeans?

I picked up a pair of Garbstore jeans that I was getting altered from The Denim Doctor today. Not had chance to properly inspect the work, will do when I get in from work.

Got a pair of shrink to fit Samurais, however the waist is snug before any soak/shrinkage. If I dryclean them, will they shrink?

put a hanger in the waist and soak your denim, everything but the waist will shrink, if its still snug wear it damp for a little while, its easier to stretch jeans while they are soaked in water.
