I'm also assuming that the hems are the same for women and men. I can't really remember....

lol i think braindead's inseam is the full 34, so they might actually not have been hemmed.

Those aren't hemmed, they're all just the original inseam length with the original R&R hem. I've only encountered two pairs of R&R that I would have needed to hem. One of them I sold because I didn't like the fit and the other I just left them the way they were. When I first got a pair of Johnny, the inseam was something like 37 inches

inseam 37? man, you'd have to be 6'7 or 6'8 for that.

Okay that's what I thought.
My reading comprehension is out the window.

Nearly all my jeans need to be hemmed to 32.75" and all done with the original hem. I have a trusted place that I take mine to and even though they charge $24.00, I get the piece of mind its going to get done right.

Can you post a pic so we know what exactly you mean? I hem mine myself and there are two lines of stitching- the original hem's stitching, and the top stitching from my hem. As a general rule I use a thread that matches closely the wash of my jeans so it's not noticeable (like you can see in the pictures above my post if you look closely) but some people may not use clear or dark blue thread and that would be a problem.

That's really cheap. Usually hemming with originals costs $20+.

yea they didn't stitch them probably , I had to go to a different place to get it fixed. They look great now I'm so happy lol .
What they did was 2 lines of stitching, you can totally tell that they stitched over the original hem to attach the - original hem. The worst part was they stitched it with a white thread so obviously you can tell they didn't do it right at all! I will NEVER go back there again!

THANKyou for all your help guys - ladies

lol. Generally if I want to try a new tailor, I bright a pair of old crappy jeans to them to see if they do a good job before I bring in the good stuff.

I think that's more worth it than having them mess up a pair for you. Yep I learned from my first mistake, I had a brand new pair still with tags on and with wrinkles and they ironed it out........... Wow?
