We can expertly repair your back pockets using our specialized darning technique that seamlessly blends with the original fabric. For more extensive damage, we may need to remove the pocket, repair the underlying fabric, and then reattach the pocket. Our in-house team utilizes a collection of vintage machines to ensure high-quality workmanship. The service covers repair of one back pocket; if you need both pockets repaired, please select the 2-service option at checkout. We can darn pants up to a maximum of 21 ounces. Please Note: We are not able to remove any previous patches, darning work, or glued areas. If you have a large hole or areas where the fabric is completely gone, please email us to confirm we can do the repair so that you don't waste money on shipping back and forth. Also note that jeans with a lot of stretch in them may not be suitable for darning as the rigid darned area can weaken the areas around it.
The Process:
- First we will process the jeans and inspect them before service
- We will install a thin fabric backing if necessary to reinforce the fabric before the mending and blending sewing. This thin fabric is very thin, unnoticeable, and will help the repair last much longer.
- Colors of mending threads will then be chosen for the repair. We will choose colors that will age well with the denim surrounding the damage area.
- The repair will then get the threads trimmed, final inspection and shipped back to you.
