Denim Repair

[Coolguyzack]

I love how your repairs don't just fix the jean, they make the damage into a feature!

[DhaDha]

wow, do you mind posting picture of the whole jeans?

[jyoni]

Sorry for the late pic, DhaDha!

 

 

 

 

 

This isn't done yet but here's a peek at a real beast of a fix.

 

[not too tight]

hey sufu peeps,

 

i recently started working on repair jeans using a Singer 47w70 darning machine. I am trying to hone my skills in so if anyone has any pairs that need repairs please PM me and we can work something out. I am offering my services for FREE while I'm trying to improve myself. I use indigo rope dyed threads also with different natural, cream, white threads for the weft fill. I can add rivets and buttons if needed. The only thing I am asking is for jeans to freshly laundered and obviously you will have to pay for shipping both ways. I also can hem jeans too using a Union Special 43200g if interested too. 

 

I am based out of NYC zip code 11385 if you want to check shipping rates. I look forward to hearing for people.

 

Thanks,

John

Can you do crotch blowouts?

Also, how long have you been doing this?

[Ljkya]

 

Erm so this happened to the buttonhole of my BOM008.. just started using them for barely a week. Should i get these to a tailor asap or can this wait for a few days since I'm having my exams now.

Thanks for the help guys!

 

Oh and Sorry for the huge image size! 

[not too tight]

That is an easy repair you could easily do with an thick thread (could use dental floss for example) and a needle. No need to take to a tailor. Take this project on yourself. 

 

[Ljkya]

Would i have to trim off some of the excess thread along the hole first? And would the loose ends in the buttonhole unravel and deteriorate if I leave it as it is for a few days? 

[jyoni]

Just wanted to post an alternate stitch to keep the loops off the open edge.

 

My favorite for this has become to lock in a run with loops then make more passes with a simple suture stitch to totally bury the open edges.

Nothing ever seems rare or special in the moment...then someone takes pictures.

 

Hi Ray!  Yes that's a spider-man blanket back there.  Note the boxes as well...moving stee'

 

 

Love it or leave it

 

[jyoni]

Quality! How much of this are you doing by hand, how much by machine roughly?

 

 

None by machine, all by hand

 

...roughly

Someone had the fucking nerve to call me a bitch for doing that.

Incidentally we were watching The Thing when oe1 was chasing me down with his head in the pants.  Pic is right after the blood test scene.

John, you really are a little bitch if you don't bring in those repairs  for me to see in person!

We could set up a play date with the seamstress if you want.

[jyoni]

Oh wait, no, I already sent them back to Ray.

[setterman]

I hope these were washed first!  They're getting pretty familiar with Ray there!

Jyoni and Oe1's repairs are holding up perfectly, and Setterman will be pleased to know they were washed shortly before I sent them in (there might still be some residual stank thoughm you never know).

 

If you need something repaired I definitely suggest contacting these two. Top notch work.

[dwarffruit]

@jyoni - Those repairs are absolutely gorgeous, very impressive work. What's the best way to contact you guys?

[jyoni]

Ray now has a 30 oz crotch 

 

We've toyed with the idea of using flyweight denim for those but nah...it always softens however heavy.

 

No stank was on Ray's pants.  If there was any in there it would have marinated up pretty quickly.  Fabric gets warm when you work on it lol.

 

dwarffruit, maybe pm?  I hesitate to post contact info because there are vendors here who work very hard at what they do and who have to pay for the privilege of exposure here.  I know this is super small fry stuff, but still.  While we aren't in it for the money we do need it to be worth our time.  Stuff takes forever.  This is something I think I should probably contact wayne about to get his thoughts on it.

Question about repair-houses... I have a crotch rip in a pair of jeans. I was wondering whether you'd recommend Self-Edge LA or HTC 

 

I have had chain stitching done at both places and was happy, but have never gotten a darn done and am very scared since I, as most of you, cherish these jeans. 

[Rob060]

i sent mine to railcar for darning and they did great with the front crotch blow out that was starting. the bottom work in the first image is what they did. i mentioned in the special instructions that i noticed the rear was showing signs of blowing out, but they didn't touch it. sure enough, within days of getting them back, holes started to develop on both sides of the seam in the rear half. didn't want to wait another month for railcar and pay them again for something i asked to have done the first time. took them over to my mom because she's close by and she basically just did the same thing railcar did with a regular sewing machine [top].
