![]() ![]() I am very curious and have wondered for years. ![]() Is it bunched by hand as it is sown and faded (sanding? bleach?) or is the bunching a result of the kind of machine attachment that is used that is hard to replicate? Try them on once again to ensure you’re happy with the length. ![]() Fold both hems up to your marked point and pin in place. You can use a ruler to measure this out to ensure the most symmetry. Step 2: On the flat surface, replicate the marking of your folded/marked leg onto the opposite. To be as clear as I can, what I'm talking about is kind of a worn patch repeating every cm or so. Remove your jeans and lay them out on a flat surface. Why isn't there anything online about recreating that look? How do they do it? I'm not talking about cut off 'frayed' jeans that seem to be trending online atm I'm talking about the original hems you would find on Levi's or almost anything else in stores. What I really want to know is what the factory workers (or machines they use) do to get the distressed looking hem as found on most mass produced jeans. A lot of the videos about professionally hemming jeans are based on this method and leave it this way. What happens with the traditional method of creating a new hem, as is kind of obvious, is you get a fresh flat looking hem. I am not interested in the folding method. The traditional method comes up a lot and the method of restitching the original back on and folding also comes up. I have searched around and watched quite a few videos and read as many blog posts on how to hem jeans. I have been trying to figure out what actually goes into the original hem that jeans bought from a store have. ![]()
