Do you hem your jeans with the original hem?

I have all of my jeans hemmed (original hem). My jean collection consists of several brands (7's, Citizens, RR, etc.) and cuts and I've never had the hemming on one brand / cut look different than another; can you explain what your jeans ended up looking like?
In the first two pics in the dark wash, the hem has a ridge, the tailor ruined my citizens and I'm bummed. It's not the original hem.
In the last two pics, the lighter wash has the original hem attached but inside it looks not so pretty, however, the stitch attaching the hem is not very visible so it's ok.
I wanted to know if any other people have had a good original hem, please post pics so I can show my tailor. Thanks.

this is how my jeans are hemmed when I keep the bottom. They are 2 different jeans but they look identical. I realized this was the best way for me otherwise the threading somehow unravels.
hey spylove!! unfortunately i dont have pics at the moment but you should google "sandwich hem" and see pics. actually, once my bats charge, i'll take some for you. the sandwich hem is an original hem but you can barely tell that it's been hemmed from the inside. it's very clean

thanks for the pics, the inside looks great.
ohh gemruby, you must must ask for it next time you go to your tailors! it's amazingggggggggg, makes your jeans look like they were made for you!!
i'll post some pics for you and spylove in a second!
You can't retally see stitching. THey basically fold the pants under and do some special hemming on the inside of the pants.
I have gotten it done at different places however they always came apart leaving me with a ruined pair of expensive jeans which became ridiculous after the 3rd pair. So I tried this place near my bfs house and its been over a year and it looks like how it did when I first got them. I am guessing the extra cloth they add just reinforces the hem or something. Not too sure

Thanks for the pic. I will definitely consider this next time I get my jeans hemmed.
