Does anyone know a business in the gulf coast area that offers chain stitching?

I got my selvedge denim hemmed locally by some old lady and it's already coming out. Figured I'd go for a real chain stitching this time. I found an online company, Railcar, that will do it, but it would be nice to drop them off personally. Have any ideas?

I live in Mississippi and I got tired of huge rolls on my pant legs. I knew I wanted to leave them longer, but I wasn't sure of what length I wanted. I think they're perfect at 1.5" extra inseam, now I want to do it right. Hell, I'd get them tapered if I was brave enough, I just simply don't know the measurements that would look good. Thinking just throwing a nice hem on them will be my last effort with this pair. This is my first try at raw denim.

This whole situation is overthinking about jeans. You are a guy, correct?

Pretty sure my Wranglers cost $24 at Target, and when they fall apart after 2 years, I throw them out and get new ones.

This post sounds super gay and hipster at the same time. Are you a gay hipster?

I'd suggest a good NOLA tailor for that.

You want a pretty chain, or a straight hem that is actually stronger?
