Everyone has that favorite, worn-in pair of premium jeans. You know, the ones that go with everything but are getting holes in the inner thigh and elsewhere? Thinking about making the tough decision to ditch them? Not so fast! Instead of throwing away your best-fitting jeans, send them to Denim Therapy. More effective than a quick patch, DT uses an exclusive cotton thread selection process called MatchPerfect™ and expert sewing skills to actually reconstruct the damaged denim and create as natural a repair as possible—regardless of whether it’s mending tears, torn hems, or even outfitting your denim with expandable side seams to accommodate a growing baby (maternity jeans!). The process is simple: Fill out the online order form, pack up your jeans, send them off to the New York City address, then wait for an estimate to be emailed to you. The mending process, from the time the company receives the jeans until they’re returned to you, takes two to three weeks. How’s that for a quick fix?
Fix it: Holes and tears average between $28 and $56 to repair.
That's only $1 per issue!
