The Boulevard of Broken Jeans - The Unit 2 Repair Thread

[wk]

Ok thanks. I've probably had this occur and never noticed on older jeans. Of course, once I notice it can't be un-noticed.

New Year, a new selection of jeans for repair, for you guys. let's go!

[JoshC]

A few battle scars got repaired. Five pairs are heading back to their owners this morning. A couple of cool-looking 19L are making their way through the queue as well.

A couple of small thigh and knee repairs from yesterday.

[JoshC]

Booking in even more repairs! You guys are keeping me busy, Love it!

[goosehd]

@JoshC I especially like the package marked with the fragile tape. Somebody really loves those jeans

[JoshC]

@goosehd Haha I didn't even notice that, but I don't blame them, great effort.

…but the package did look a little small to be a bowling alley.

I got my 777 21oz back from repair last week and wow was I ever impressed by the work done, especially with the repair on the frayed bottoms, didn't even know that was possible!! Makes me wonder why I would ever consider buying denim from another company at this point, I have spent $100+ just to get a crotch repair fixed locally. Thank you guys for doing such incredible work and thinking about sustainability!

[JoshC]

@Ikeaparty awesome glad you are happy with them, sorry i missed your message but appreciate the feedabck and glad to keep them going

[JoshC]

One of my nemesis for repairs.... button holes, always improving everytime i do it, but definitely takes a little bit of time, but it will keep these guys in action for while longer.

[goosehd]

@JoshC I was wondering how you did button holes and also curious about if you use or have a preference for a specific thread when repairing.

I’ve used thicker embroidery thread in the past and it seems to hold up fairly well, but would love to know what you prefer and recommend.
