When I ordered a thimbal from Atlanta Thread, I was asked "with open or closed end". Not knowing what on earth one would want with an open ended thimbal, I was told that they are the choice of tailors. I bought one of each and am still clueless. js --

Hello, My jeans always wear out along the edge of the seam from where the four seams meet and around to the backside. Another pair have done it today!! What can I do? I sew on patches, but the strain on the material appears elsewhere on the edge of the patch and more holes appear. Can I fix...

I hope someone here can help me. I don't know squat about textiles, but I've noticed in the last few years the major t-shirt manufacturers have started making the shirt lengths a few inches longer (so they fall below the waist). I talked to a Hanes rep who described this as their "roomier fit"...
