Denim Repair

[lenn]

no the tailor our company uses totally sucks, they always screw up repairjobs. way too ugly. and of course i'd trust you, after seeing the work you did on your own gear ;D

[sidneylo]

Cotton Duck charges you hella euros! And a wildchildstyle burger!

[Charlie Delta]

If it's a In-N-Out burger that'll be the the only thing I'll charge.

Seriously though, if it's not too tough of job I could probably do it for you, on my own jeans I go for a really specific style, but I'm also pretty handy with a sewing machine when it comes down to "regular repairs".

Otherwise send me some pics and I can tell you if I could do it.

Btw, Sid you know I'm expecting you to have arranged a NYC In-N-OutPost by the end of the month...

I got this hole coming out in my backpocket because of how my wallet is shaped. I have little to no experience sewing... Any tips, I've tried to sew it up but I just end up getting frustrated after awhile... Should I just send them in for repairs?

[kobot]

put your wallet in your other pocket

hey guys.

need help. my mom accidentally washed my pair of dry nudies. After washing she folded my nudies and i was away for a week. when i came back, my pair of nudies look like shiit. There's unwanted creases all over.

What do you guys suggest? Iron them?

[Pandemonium]

^start over.

[Opie]

Wear away honey, just wear it away..

that sounds pretty serious. there is nothing you can do yourself, i doubt you have the specialized equipment necessary. but don't despair. i suggest fedex'ing them to denim doctors in LA. they might -- if you're lucky -- be able to save them.

I just read this now... sorry to be the bearer of bad news: there isn't a single In-n-Out on the East Coast.

Willing to start an In-n-Out proxy service. Only 400% service charge.

...oh wait, there's none in Seattle, much less Washington

Yeah, I wish there was In-n-Out on the east coast, I've had it twice both times, definitely satisfied with my meal. hey guys.

How old are you? Anyways this is a pretty serious situation, once you iron jeans and fold them creases are pretty hard to get rid of, I'd take datasupa's advice and send them in.

[chrisj]

Hey guys I'm serious though, my sewing skils are like (forgive the analogy) a blind kid playing basketball. I start up and then I look at my work after 30 minutes and I'm just like what the fuckkk?

I think I'm just going to send them into the shop.

Feel like a whimp.

[blm14]

Is there a "denim doctor" equivalent in NYC?

[Chicken]

4 5 r p m .

[blm14]

How much would they charge for a repair? I mean I realize it will vary on the severity of the rip, but are we talking $10, $25, $100? Ten thousand turkish lira? Will they only accept yen? ...

[Chicken]

i think they're a bit on the high side, but they're known to do fantastic work.

you should bring your stuff in and get an estimate.

[blm14]

sweet, thanks. Maybe I'll wait until the next wash just to get some more wear on them.

I just got some dior jeans repaired with denim therapy and they turned out good...it was like $19....Ill post pics n a little

I recently sent my Samurai 0500xx to Denim Doctors / Hollywood Trading Co. in LA to fix a giant busted crotch that was developing and also my left backpocket's corner also loosened such that things literally started to stick out of the corners.

When I went in, without saying ANYTHING, the main guy there already recognized that my jeans were Samurais. The funniest part is that my arctuates are completely destroyed and not there anymore. He might've seen the patch, but he just reacted too quickly. Jeez.

Anyways, they did a fucking marvelous job at making sure that both areas are reinforced. I highly recommend them 10/10.

You can't really tell anything special about it, that's why it's so good. They definitely made sure that everything is reinforced. Send them your jeans!

[HEWSINATOR]

Looks like a terrific repair. I wish I knew of somebody here in Edmonton who could do something like this.

[brodie]

A repair i had done recently. Managed to tear a hole in one of the knees of some ivalease i have.

The tear

The repair

+1 for Denim Doctors / Hollywood Trading Co. The repairs blend really well on faded washed denim. Good look on those Samurai's too.

[nemoulette]

My Skulls have been repaired three times now.

Detail shots of the outside?

how do i repair this?

any good tailors in NYC but these were only nudies for 165 should i invest in them?

[coleslawyum]

^^Errrm… see post # 134 and #129.

You could always sew them yourself! That way you'll learn something too…

[Another level]

My RRDS back pockets have holes in them. I'm planning to half line the pocket. Can anyone recommend suitable lining material in terms of thickness and type of material? The tailor that I normally use is ex Savile Row but he only has suit pocket lining which is in my view too thin to line the back pockets.

What is the white patch on the inside? Is it an iron on adhesive over a denim patch or is it directly placed on the jeans and they just stitch all over it?

[HEWSINATOR]

The latter. I believe it is used so there is something to actually stitch onto. iam, I coleslaw said to consider fixing them yourself, but a repair job of that magnitude is beyond somebody without skill.
