^^ wtF!?! there is no way you paid retail ? Why wouldn't you say you were a SF member when you came in? You always get a discount no matter what.
the jeans retailed for 250.00 ...200.00 for SF memebers ( which was posted) and now a 50.00 credit.
That will learn you now won't it!

Hey Guys-

Mauro's out with Mia today, but wanted me to let you know that Chad called to tell him that all of the jeans he received have been shipped back out, so you should be seeing those soon. We just got ours back as well so I should have them all shipped out by tomorrow, except for the few that people sent to us that need additional repairs beyond the holes (like missing rivets, stitching, etc.) which should only be a little bit longer. As always, thanks for your patience in this whole ordeal!

I took my jeans to an old Italian tailor down the street from my apartment. He secured the holes using a bar tack stitch and attached a patch to the back side of the hole. It seems that patches were attached only with thread (and not glue) but are nevertheless very secure. Amazingly, he didn't charge me for the work.

HEH! That's OK cause when I came in to pick them up I got my girl some jean shop jeans on sale. I would also have to say that this thread alone has been worth the price of admittance.

I actually like the thread color. Maybe I fix mine now.

just wondering but what did you guys decide to do with those of us with stitching issues? are they stitching on top or removing problem stitches and redoing?

by the way, that contest thread you guys had was the most entertaining thing on SF in a long time
