Denim repair question. pictures

[rabka]

Ok so I ripped my blue bloods in the back..and not in a very flattering spot.

i just got them fixed at a local dry clean spot...but im not very happy with the outcome. Could she have done a cleaner job?

[Westbrook]

That's a very tough fix. She probably could have done a little better, but it's near impossible to totally hide a tear like that.

I would have stitched the ends of the tear together much closer with a wide stitch. Tight jeans are susceptible to that, that is why I like my jeans fitted but not tight. When you buy jeans one size too small and depend on stretching to get them to fit, unfortunately this is the result, especially if you are active which I assume you are to garner a tear like that one. Stretching jeans one and two sizes just cannot be good for the material.

i agree, that rip is a pain in the arse. how did you get that ripped anyways, it looks major.

Well, I don't know what could have been done, BUT, when I looked at the pics, I did not know I was looking at the "after."

45rpm has an article about denim repair....they dont tackle as big of a job as yours looks to be but I'm sure the outcome would be similar....it looks like it takes a very skilled tailor/seamstress to pull it off though...heres the link:

That is the fucking shittiest repair job i have ever seen. I wouldn't have paid for that. If you've ever sat down with a sewing machine and done just about anything you would able to do better. There shouldn't be any of that white showing at all. They should have been able to at least attempt using a blue/black thread to try and gradient it together and make it look decent. If I were you I'd be pissed.

That being said, take them to denim doctor or somebody like that. If they try to feed you some cock and bull story about not being able to do anything, send them to me and paypal me like $30 and I'll do it for you.

for anyone who was wondering...i was just near this little hill area with rocks and shit and me and my friends were climbing it and i jumped on to a rock and slipped and cut my shin and some of my thigh up.

well i paid ten dollars for the repair. I sort of want to go back and ask her why she didn't make the stitching tighter on the ends and why she didnt do a better job at removing/covering the white denim fibers. I'm not sure if i'm looking to spend any more money on this...i have moved on to a pair of A.P.C's that i'm working on...the blue boods fit loose and it was a little frustrating because it was tought getting wear on it.

do you think these can still be worn as they are now...or will it look a lot more goofy than custom.

[Cameland]

that honestly is crap dood. Take it to someone else to get a fix up.

Go to an embroidrery sewer and have them put a solid piece of embroidery over the tear to hold it together .

Unless you can find a highly skilled denim repair person and do it the 45rpm way ..

the denim reweaving place is www.denimtherapy.com

they do a decent job, someone on authentic forum got it done and it didn't look perfect, if you looked closely, you could tell something was off, but it wasn't something you'd notice from 3-4 ft back.
