Hemming washed denim but retain faded seams?

[mr_goosey]

Hi all

I have some orlsow 105's that I need to hem. However, I don't want to lose the lovely effect of the faded puckering on the seams at the leg opening. Is there any way of replicating this after they have been hemmed? I have read that applying bleach with a swab and then washing can work but sounds very risky....and rubbing with sandpaper doesn't sound like it'll achieve a similar effect either.

Any ideas appreciated...

A competent tailor should be able to preserve the original hem, you just have to ask for it.

Thank you. How would that work exactly?
