Just when you’ve gotten your jeans to mold perfectly to your form and fade to just the right shade of blue, a hole appears in the knee. What to do? Turn to Denim Doctors (323-852-0171). This Los Angeles company reweaves damaged denim and performs jean-specific alterations, nipping in the waist or hemming. An RS staffer was very pleased with the company’s mending of a two-inch tear: The weaved fabric was blended into the jeans so that it was barely noticeable. Fixing holes can cost anywhere from 15 to a few hundred dollars, depending on the extent of the restoration needed. Repairs can take a couple of weeks to a month.
