What is the difference between a Single Stitch Hem, an Invisible Hem, and an Original Hem/Eurohem?
A Single stitch Hem is used on Jeans or cotton casual pants and you can see the line of stitching along the bottom – We always match the thread to the original colour. An Invisible Hem is used on Dress Pants and does not show any stitching on the outside An Original Hem or Eurohem – is when we remove the actual bottom of the pants and reattach it at the proper length so you can keep any special stitching or details at the bottom of the pants. – We highly recommend this look for any denim pants.
