I thought about ignoring the holes as well but Mauro informed me that they will grow over time. I'll try to visit a tailor this weekend so see about repairs. Anyone know what "bar tack" is in French?

even if they don't expand too quickly, they're gonna fray out and afro-puff if left alone. i pricked my nudies on a small finish nail and could barely see the hole but a little blue puff formed quickly on the leg (especially after a wash) and the hole's starting to grow.

F**, now the grundleholes mutate into larger beings? Damn you grundle curse! I'll take them to a tailor and get them fixed up then. Those who worked on these should be caned or treated like a pinata.

this is another reason why i'm thinking twice on sending my jeans back - the wait. also will it be possible for chad to fix the stitching on the denim? is he going to take it apart and stitch it back together? how long will that take?

Yeah depending on how they decide to fix stitching it could be long. There hasn't been much talk about stiching... It's all about repairing grundle holes.

I guess they could just stitch on top of faulty stitching on affected areas ... Not sure what best course of option is

So whats the estimated turnaround time if you sent your jeans to farinellis before they told everyone to send their jeans straight to chad? If its going to take like a month Id rather get a full refund.
