Hemming jeans with the original hem refers to a technique used to preserve the original factory-finished hem of the jeans while shortening them to the desired length. By retaining the original hem, this method aims to maintain the jeans’ authentic look and prevent fraying or unraveling.
Preserving the original hem offers several benefits. It ensures a professional-looking finish that matches the original design of the jeans. Moreover, it prevents the need for additional finishing techniques, such as sewing a new hem or using iron-on hem tape, which can alter the jeans’ appearance. Additionally, it can increase the longevity of the jeans by preventing the cut edge of the fabric from fraying or unraveling.
