I recently had the opportunity to head over to Franklin & Poe to have my Naked & Famous denim hemmed.
With a chain stitch sewing machine!
If you are in Philly, you need to head over to their store and check out the inventory. 
The selection of goods is amazing, the staff are friendly, and you will no doubt find something appealing!
Watch the video to learn about the store, the process, the history of the machine, and a few other fun bits of info.

Here is a link to the Franklin & Poe shop:
