How to repair your jeans with Self Edge NYC
Loading...
Uploaded by Complexmagazine on Aug 25, 2011
Here's the thing about raw denim: after months and months of wear key areas like the crotch and back pockets can blow out, and your hard-earned fades and whiskers can seem like a lost cause.
Thankfully, Andrew Chen of Self Edge New York can help. The shop repairs jeans through a process called "darning." It's way more durable than a patch and essentially creates new fabric and weaves it into the old denim, creating a more natural look that gets better with age.
You can't do this just anywhere — Self Edge is one of the few places equipped with a 1950s Singer Darning Machine.
Check out how they can make your favorite pair of jeans last longer as Andrew walks us through darning process.

Is there a place in San Jose, CA that can darn jeans? My APCs are starting to get crotch rips. :'(

@Kidrocybro Also- You should look into going to Denim Revival. That place is legit- The seamstress got a BS in sewing way back when!

@Kidrocybro They have a store off of Brea/Melrose that they opened up in the last year. Also, there's a store in SF.

PLEASE open a shop in Houston or take mail-ins. :)
