Yes I patched them myself

Yes I know the patches stick out

And yes I do wear them out and about

EDIT: The back also has a few patches for those curious.

      Thank you!

      They were quite fun to patch as well, it’s super chill just sitting and stitching while listening to an audiobook

    The Crotch Crack is always the worst with denim… Very hard to fix up, too, impressed you even managed to get a patch in there that well!

      NGL it wasn’t an easy place to patch for sure

      Basically had to modify my embroidery ring (longer bolt) to be able to crank it down enough to hold them tight enough to force the needle through the seams.

      It was a fun challenge to tackle, I highly recommend it over tossing a pair of jeans

    Aesthetic decision but in your place I might add some extra “unnecessary” patches, so the real ones stick out a bit less (the back looks cool, so do the legs, it’s… really just the crotch one). Very cool in any case!

      Adding more patches just for the aesthetic is something I’m thinking about doing

      Of course using a bunch of different looking fabric that has the same theme though

    I was totally expecting something like crust pants, I like what you’ve done with these. I’ve got a few older pairs I’ve patched (or at least attempted to lol) with boring fabric, can’t stand throwing otherwise totally fine things away.
