                chain stiching (Union special) and all sort of crazy repairs and alterations. Plus the owner is a super friendly lad.

                  Thought I'd share a picture of my work 🙂 At the moment I use poly cotton thread (thanks again Giles), will get some different threads in the future.

                    Luke Deverell of Darned and Dusted offers a darning service in London. Repairs are unlikely to be invisible, but add to the character of a garment.

                    There's an interview at Denim Hunters, and more photos on his Instagram feed.

                    I had a small patch done on my IHSH-33 the other day, and it's a tidy job. It's a different quality to someone like the Denim Doctor, but I like Luke's style.

                      They did a very good job on hemming my 1955S.
                      Took them not more than an hour.

                                Just to let people know that whilst i'm under the weather there may be bit of a delay on getting your order if your jeans require hemming.

                                      Indigoproof did a fantastic job hemming my 714s. Rain matched the original chain stitch perfectly.  It took exactly 8 days to mail in and get them back. I'm 100 percent satisfied.

                                          Wanted to revive this thread and ask for recommendations for hemming and chainstitch. I’m in the Midwest and have a few pair of pants and a couple pair of jeans I’d like to have hemmed. Thanks for any info!

                                            Sorry @SKT just seeing this. My current vote goes to Williamsburg Garment Co. They don't have a srazy wait-list and will work on unwashed stuff for a fee. https://williamsburggarment.com/custom-made-jeans/shop/alterations/
