Not quite sure what you mean by roping?
If you mean the hems have a worn effect then any decent tailor can just reattach the hems, so you still have the same finish.
If you mean chain stitching then get yourself to Son of a Stag in London, they will do chainstitch, bit more than a standard shortening at £20 but worth it to have a proper finish . Got a couple of pairs of Bicester RRL bargains taken up by them, really nice staff and quick service. They also said they'd do a mail order service although that would make it pretty pricey, worth it for expensive jeans though.

Don't get this done. Its just a bodge job really. Proper places can recreate the hem instead of using the old one.
Denim Doc and Fast Stitch for example.

By the denim doctor do you mean http://www.thedenimdoctor.co.uk/?
Because the pics they show for this clearly show they do a "bodge job" as you describe it

i would love to not have to turn up every piece of legwear i own, especially jeans, but as a 5ft 9er requiring a 30" leg or less, there ain't much of a choice. especially with any kind of washed denim, any decent pair rarely comes in at a 30" leg, anything above that would need to be taken up and would look shit if it's anything but raw cause of the roping on the hem.

Mine were quite a heavy wash with frayed hems.
Instead of cutting off some material and turning them up again, they cut some off then sew the old hem over the top.
The ones I had done looked great on but messy turned up, a better tailor could make them ok both ways but if you want to avoid turn ups it wouldn't matter.
If you pm me tomorrow ill take a pic of these ones I had done.

never knew you could get hems reattached, surely there's gonna be some discontinuity depending on the wash/ how much you take the leg up by though - can't image there being many instances where this would work well?
