I could probably use twill tape or gros grain ribbon in a pinch. I first saw kick tape on this site:http://thesewingdivas.wordpress.com/?s=men%27s+pants+hemming. Do you use the original stitching line for the hem, or did it end up being a tad higher up? If you used the original first fold of the hem then I guess it's a tad higher but I can't see it in the "outside view" picture. You must have pressed them well! On the sewing diva site they show the kick tape sewn on slightly lower, peeking out 1 mm from the bottom, to protect the hem and keep it from fraying. I suppose eventually the tape will fray but then it could be replaced and the pant material would be still be in good shape. I think Francesca's idea to keep linen pant hems from getting squashed is great! Sorry for the previous deleted post. I forgot to check the "notify me" box and I couldn't figure out how to turn it on without reposting.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14191756677239463926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891778469420790940.post-5403516755467832232014-03-04T09:24:47.278-08:002014-03-04T09:24:47.278-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14191756677239463926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891778469420790940.post-21655100554351775182013-11-17T07:56:39.281-08:002013-11-17T07:56:39.281-08:00hi, I found this post searching on line for trouse...hi, I found this post searching on line for trouser hem tape and how to use it. I have noticed that really high-end pants, like I pair I inherited in linen by Claude Montana, have a hem either all the way round or just in the back part. My father's tailormades also had it. I was trying to find sources because I think this might be a good strengthener to use to stop pants fraying, but also because I hate the way linen pants hems sort of get squashed at the back, and this might help... what do you think?Francescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715570187712365610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891778469420790940.post-65136726161693377932012-05-15T05:58:49.622-07:002012-05-15T05:58:49.622-07:00awesome, thanks!awesome, thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01012590223075099786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891778469420790940.post-23211937774069305302012-05-03T10:22:49.734-07:002012-05-03T10:22:49.734-07:00What a great idea - I have never come across this ...What a great idea - I have never come across this stuff before and feel that I could fix up my whole house and everything in it with this stuff.
