    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.

      The Netherlands:
      Tenue de Nimes, Amsterdam, Elandsgracht and Haarlemerstraat. They do chainstitching (EUR 15,-) and repairs.
      They did a very good job on hemming my 1955S.
      Took them not more than an hour.

                Ouch! That hurt…

                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/

                              @Filthy Man I’m so glad to hear that’s who you would recommend because I sent them some stuff a little bit after posting my initial question.  I had them chainstitch some 666S-21’s and IHDR-502’s and they shipped them back to me yesterday. Should have them by the end of the week and I’ll report back. Puts my mind at ease knowing you’ve had a good experience with them.

                                Had a great experience with Williamsburg Garment in Brooklyn, NY.  Price, speed, communication all excellent and the work done was superb. Recommended.

                                  They use a Union Special 43200 G for chainstitching and they do really good job (for repairs also). They also have they own denim brand. They definitely worth a look if you are around !
