[salaami]

agreed..what makes them so dope besides the ear and repair is the fit..same goes for the shirt...

Wow, wow, wow. Denim therapy is amazing. For reference:

HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended

so i guess the previous skepticism that those guys don't really "know" premium denim was unfounded. i will keep them in mind for repairs in the future, although it is annoying that they don't have a drop off/pick up service since they are in brooklyn and i could save money on shipping.

i think they're a pair of 13 year old levi's 1947 501 he mentions them in a different interview

pic is taken from GQ sept 2008

No fucking kidding. For almost 5 years I lived in the same zip code, like barely a quarter mile from their location... Meh.

Can anyone tell me, is there most likely an adhesive applied between the patch and the jeans? and THEN they're stitched along the edges of the patch?

I'm about to make some repairs to a similar-sized crotch hole, and debating how to go about doing it.

^Looks like it.

I did these repairs on this machine, for sale in super market.

Here's some minor pocket opening repair. By Denim Doctors.

THose are great jeans. About the best old Levi's approximation there is.

Here are some minor repairs I did to my Red-Ds... I'm just learning to sew. Not perfect, but it will work! Had to redo the whole back pocket basically because both lines of stitch were coming out. I don't know about all cotton stitching sometimes...

Anyway, thanks for all the great posts! It's nice to get ideas on how to do some of this stuff at home.

my dad was cleaning out his closet and came across some old jeans he cant fit.

Sent my jeans to the Denim Doctors for repairs. They did a superb job. I did not think my crotch area was in that bad of shape, but thinking back, it was getting really thin. By the way, I took a lot of these pictures with flash so the repairs are more noticeable than they are in regular lighting.

Before:

Extremely thin, and stitching coming apart.

After:

[thatslapz]

These repairs were done by my mom haha.

Before:

After:

I don't have a before of the other side, but it wasn't as bad. Here's the after though:

I don't have a before of the coin pocket either, but there was a hole.

After:

I didn't have any denim lying around so my mom just sewed in random fabric.

Another small repair to the back pocket from where my leather tether attaches to the wallet and rubs.

Probably more to come.

Some minor hand repairs to my Flat Head 380's.

Some crotch reinforcement. The inside seams were fraying.

Inside. I just used some scrap denim from the fabric store.

The back belt loop was getting eaten though by my belt, so I fixed it with some scrap PBJ XX-009 denim.

My Edwins have a few small 1-2cm holes in the crotch which are slowly getting bigger.

I'm in Melbourne and have seen heaps of tailors in malls who offer invisible repairs etc but don't know if they are any good with denim.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a tailors in Melb?

thanks

Mine took about three weeks, including shipping time. I sent them Monday, July 13 and got them back August 3 or 4. But this turn-around time probably depends on the amount of jeans they currently have to fix and the extent of the repairs.

[Bigyen]

i meant i sent my jeand from nyc. not fucking with therapy.

Patched the knee of my KMWs:

[beatle]

patches are cool**

[salaami]

yeah, my new shit is patching the ''whiter/lighter'' areas with the weft-side out. it's less jarring, esp. on the arse, and it won't take as long to fade to match the surrounding fabric. you'll see what i mean as soon as i can get some pics up...

[meader]

Hawt dang! My got dang Warehouse Warren blue jeans ripped hard! Gotta give these indigo work dungarees some kick ass repairs. Can't work in the fields in jus' mah' undies! Too cold for that. Good lord.

[liewbaysea]

small repair i did today

[Mr HaGa]

I redid some repairs that were coming undone on the contest fullcounts. This time I used some leftover thread that Nudie sent me a couple years ago to repair my Masa. The colour doesn't match very well, but it's an amateur job anyway.

[Osmosis Jones]

finished doing repairs.

more scraps of denim went towards this

imperial denim mousepad!?
