I tend to spend more time wearing them than admiring the stitch work. Sorry.

I am NOT trying to be a smart ass but try this in the womens forum. I know they have some people who sew and would understand what a Serged hem is.

Have you tried reverse-engineering a pair? get one and then get a seam ripper and see how it's assembled that way. It would also give you template pieces for making a future pair.

I know the ass is done differently than say a pair of jeans. instead of a single seam down the middle it goes into a sort of Y and there's an extra piece of material

what does sewing have to do with being a decent soldier?

I can put a crappy stich in my uniform to put on a patch or rank but beyond that NILL.

but I bet I can out shoot most of you all and have received nothing less that the highest ratings for my 12 years in the service.

Wow, you can shoot.

Sewing is a sustainment skill. It's worth knowing.
