I've had buttons come unsewed on TS clothes before, and I think the cuff on my 8-Day pants came unstitched too. Luckily my mother is handy with a needle and thread (although I've been known to sew buttons on myself). It’s not necessarily a fluke.

At the end of the day I was sitting here at my home office desk and felt something a bit odd when I shifted position. I'd had the slacks cuffed, and the internal stitching had come undone on one of the legs. Needless to say, I was disappointed and today they'll make their way back to TravelSmith. I am assuming it was a fluke, and am going to ask for a replacement. Not impressive, tough!
