Had a few holes and the crotch repaired by son of stag. They've done a decent job, but i'm a bit annoyed at the fact i've got two clearly visible square stitch shapes on the front of the jeans. Can i ask them to do the stitching around the holes and make it more discreet, or is that standard?

usually you just put the patch over the hole and do a crazy zig zag sorta stitch (which it looks like you have got) and then ya just leave the edges of the patch loose where the zigzag doesn't go over it i.e miss the outline stitch
the zigzag is more than enough to hold it

whats the inside look like? could just unstitch the square and cut the size of the patches down?

Looks like they've done a bit of both.

Looks like patch instead of machine darned.

Doesn't the zig zag stitch hold the patch in place though? If so then surely you can just unpick the stitching that you don't want to be visible?

for repairs like that always send to denim doctor.

Our legacy have some decent washes imo, might have to get the lower leg tapered a bit

Popped into Rivet and Hide yesterday with Spitfire and another mate, both copped some great jeans (UES and 3sixteen).

The shop is well worth a visit, some awesome stock and obviously just nice to have a good look at all of the gear in the flesh.

Anyone who squats and has issues with jeans not having enough room in the thigh along with a decent taper should check out the UES 400t, probably my next pair. Spitfires are pretty much perfect for that reason.

Nice to meet Danny and Junior, good luck with the store guys.

PBJ are great but the stitch length they use is really large and makes them look a bit like True Religions…

It's petty but when you're talking £200+ it brings it down to really minor differences.
Also, not my pics.
