My 634 have been looking a little worn of late. I have done a few repairs myself, but been looking for someone to do a proper job.
here are some before and after pictures.
Some of you may think this is fine, in which case head to the denim doctor, I dont.
He did some Levi's at the same time which I have now thrown away. He also took in the waist on a pair of Ironhearts. Similar standard of work to the hemming below.
I emailed and told him i felt that the job was bad, and that he had ruined one pair completely. He said it was the best he could do, and his work is respected in the selvedge community.
The only positive thing I can say is he is a nice enough chap.
i have started to unpick it all, which is unfortunately damaging the jeans further, but if i wanted iron on patches and bad sewing machine stitching i could have got my mum on the case!
If someone knows somewhere other than Self Edge in New York to get proper repair work done let me know
