Do you patch rips that are part of the wash?

It's a destroy wash, do not pay attention about that it's stupid

 

It will become damaged with time ... or don't wear it.

 

Just be careful when you put your thavar, your foot can destroy the thread

A lot of jeans are "repaired". I personally like it, my 8X8 has chambray patches on the inside and when you see them they look great. I have my eye on a pair of 8880K and I'm gonna put maybe red tartan patches under the rips. For something unique. I'd say go for it. It'll definitely look better than if you put your toe through them. The 8X2 are special jeans and need to be well looked after.

I want to get my 8B9 patched because I poked my toe through and tore the threads... but aside from going to a tailors and spending more than its worth, I don't know what to do.

Iron patches are the best to prevent rips. And it´s not visible at all, maybe harder to iron it on wrinkles...

Use nylon patch. It's so thin, flexible and you don't have to iron it, and it sticks for a long time . If it ever comes off, use a new piece. It's not thick like iron patches so you won't have all the problems you mentioned. I tried both myself.

 

 

where can you get nylon patches from?

yep

After washing my Shioner 8PN for the first time, the patch on the right leg detached =(

 

How can i bring it back on my jeans and how can i make patches like those on other jeans to be save that i dont get stuck?

that's cool im gonna have to give the nylon one's a try. ived tried the denim iron on ones and i dont like the way they change the feel of the jean in that area. when it folds on that area it kinda bunches up and feels and looks odd.  will give the nylon ones a try!

My Vikers started to rip on the distressing. I backed them with my own cut thin denim stuck on with Copydex after I ironed the patch. Seems to have done the trick and there is no noticable change in the way they hang imo. If you cut your own patch you can size it to suit.

I patch every single hint of distressing with patches that I buy from Joann fabrics... They aren't denim and they aren't nylon... they are the same exact material that diesel uses to patch them (or used to lol) It's funny the jeans become more expensive and they stopped doing that for us. Anyone who owns a pair of 71j or 73j knows what I'm talking about. Anyway, it shouldn't affect the look of the creasing and whiskering as it only takes about 30 seconds of pressure with hot iron to put them on. It's great because the glue on the patch kind of melts into the threads of the abrasions and keeps them intact for a VERY long time... I also NEVER wash my jeans either so I have distressed pairs that are a year or two old that still look exactly as they did when I bought them, and when you pay this kind of money for jeans, I'm with you rizzice.... its very important to me that they stay looking good. Diesel cuts them into squares or rectangles and applies them like that, I've found that the sharp corners make it easier for them to accidentally tear off, I like to round the corners so its less likely they will catch on something when taking them on or off.

@ rizzice,

How did this patch project worked out? Got any update?

I'm looking to do something similar to my 73J. Your advise will be greatly appreciated.
