Union Special - 43200G 'Chainstitch Hemming service'
A new pair of dry denim is mostly sold in only two or three length variations. If you're looking to shorten the length of your jeans and you want to maintain the original chainstitched hem, you can send them over to us!
We're proud to have a Union Special 43200G chainstitch machine, which creates the original ‘roping effect’ on the hem. The roping effect is created by 3/8-inch folding attachment and the feeder. The fabric enters into the machine at a different speed to the folding of the fabric. Due to the way the fabric and thread communicate there is a little twist in the folding process that creates the most authentic hemming look.
Every pair of jeans we hem for you will be to the exact length you specify. We will be sure to keep everything on brand and for the original thread colour to match as much as possible. If you prefer a custom thread colour please add the specifications to your order form or email. Everything is possible, even indigo dyed yarn. These yarns will mature nicely and fade over time!
We are proud to share Dutch Denim Repair is official partner with Benzak Denim Developers. This gives us the opportunity to offer you the chainstitch hemming service with the original yarns used for the production of these jeans. Visit the site or contact us for a hemming service for you pair.
If you're wondering how to measure the exact length, check the instruction video below, or download the pdf to help you fill in the right lengths. I'll add a 6/8 inch (or 19mm) to create the hem.
