Deine Anleitung: „So säumst du Jeans“

So säumen wir Jeans bei Nudie Jeans

Hemming is something that divides denim wearers into four categories. Some are opposed to it and wouldn’t even consider it. Others would, but only if it’s done with the proper tools, i.e. a chain stitch machine. The third category are the ones who would allow it, if the original seam is reattached. Then there’s the lot who simply don’t give a hoot.

All these opinions aside, we give you a simple guide on how to hem your jeans. This is how we usually do it, or at least in 99% of every hemming case.

When you have measured your denim, don’t cut them off according to what measure you got. You have to subtract at least one inch/2.5 centimeters from the original measure so that you have something to hem. We cannot stress this enough. If your jeans are just a tad too long, or they only need a little bit of hemming, wear them for some time and maybe wash them before hemming. If they are still a bit too long, we recommend you use a seam ripper and do as stated above.

Weitere Tipps und Hinweise

Vergiss nicht: Übung macht den Meister. Mach ein paar Probeläufe mit einer Jeans, die du nicht mehr trägst.

In unseren Repair Shops haben wir leistungsstarke Nähmaschinen, aber die, die die Leute zu Hause haben, funktionieren auch gut. Bevor du jedoch mit dem Säumen beginnst, vergewissere dich, dass die Nadel für die Arbeit geeignet ist. Die Nadeln, die wir verwenden, sind viel stärker und brechen nicht, wenn du die Jeans säumst. Achte außerdem darauf, dass du einen Faden verwendest, der etwas dicker als der Durchschnitt ist. Frag deinen örtlichen Nähbedarfsexperten bzw. -expertin, er oder sie wird wissen, was du brauchst.
