I asked my usual tailor (who's a wizard with suits and apparently women's clothing like skirts) if he could hem some selvage for me and he said yeah. I guess he did, but it doesn't look very nice and he clearly didn't do it "the right way." Next time I get raw denim hemmed it's getting a chain stitch from a union special and all that. Unfortunately since I don't live near a self edge or anything like that, I'm gonna have to wait until I wash them before I can mail them in.

Email Jay at Blue Owl about the chain stitch. He did my APCs and just washed them last week after well over a year and they came out perfect length. The man is a Denim Wizard.

tog, which "type" are those jeans? they don't look nearly as bad as most of the modeled ones, or did you just size up?

There's a technique to shorten jeans while keeping the original stitch (on the left in the first pic):
