Cool guys, good store and they do have a chain stitcher. I think they're looking to add other equipment such as darners, etc.

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.

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.
