Repairing Torn Jeans ...

Q.What do you do when you get a hole in one of your favorite over priced pairs of jeans

I mean, in high school, I would have thrown a cool patch on there but I’m not sure that really works at my age… but I can’t bear to retire these jeans.
Help!

**A.**Patching the hole is certainly one option for your torn jeans. Depending on where the hole is, a patch can look just fine.

Luck Brand Lil' Maggie Jeans

Look at these two examples of patching on Lucky’s Lil Maggie jean. The color of the patch can make the patched area look more or less obvious. If you choose a denim patch that is the same shade and texture as your jeans, it will barely show.

Of course patched jeans are not really a hot style right now, and they’re not the best choice for going out or going to work, so you’ll have to make the call on whether patching will even work for you.

Another option, if you really love your torn jeans, is Denim Therapy.

This is a business that will actually reconstruct the denim where your jeans have torn.The area where the hole was will not disappear completely, but will show up as a nicely distressed part of your formerly torn jeans. There is no mention on their site as to how long Denim Therapy repairs will last, but their clients seem to be happy with the results.

Here is one of their customer testimnials from their website:

It costs $7 per inch to get the repairs done, so you will really have to weigh the benefits of going this route.

Whatever your repair decision, you should start shopping now for your next pair of jeans to love. You won’t want to be caught with nothing to wear but an old pair of torn jeans.
