Here's How to Hem Jeans Without Losing the Frayed Hem

Earlier this summer, we published a story about the next big trend in denim: frayed-hem jeans (a.k.a. raw-hem jeans). While the look of jeans with a ripped hem or interesting hem details are really cool, we received questions from petite women asking how they could pull off the trend without losing the cool hem detail, because they are forced to hem all their jeans.

Up to the challenge, we approached 3x1 owner, Scott Morrison, known in the denim industry as the father of premium denim, how to shorten your frayed hem jeans, without losing a single hanging thread.

Here are Scott's instructions to tell your local tailor (or try yourself if you're handy with a sewing machine!)
