I had a few pair of Nudie jeans with small tears and areas that were really worn in the crotch that needed repair.
This tends to be a problem with my jeans. In past I had taken them back to the store where I purchased them and they arranged for repair somewhere in Toronto (I think a place somewhere on Queen??). I was extremely disappointed with the jeans I had repaired by them. All they did was sew a non matching denim patch on the inside and then used some non-matching thread to attach them. It looked terrible!! It drew more attention to the area than having a rip there. Plus it was about $30/ pair.
After researching some better repair options (which I should have done first), and from reviews from friends, I came across the Doctor Denim website.
Using the form on the website, I submitted a request for a quote. The same day I received a reply from Frank asking for some detailed photos of the damaged areas. I sent Frank the pictures he requested and he provided me with an awesome quote. First off I have to say this is amazing, knowing how much it will cost before even dropping off the jeans. He also assured me this was an easy fix.
On top of all this Frank asked what area of the city I lived in. After I told him he and mentioned he would be there the next morning and he could meet me to grab the jeans. How awesome is that!! I was able to meet him 5min from my place!
I agreed and dropped off my jeans the next morning. To my surprise I received a text saying they were done the same day! He sent me preview photos as well, showing the work.
All I can say is that he worked magic on my jeans! Somehow he was able to repair the areas so well that they look almost like new. He was able to even blend the thread colours so it matched the worn areas of the jeans...crazy!
Needless to say I am very pleased with the results and will be mentioning this to all of my friends looking for a denim repair as well as to the store the next time I'm in there to buy a new pair. I hope they will pass this contact to any customer that cares about their jeans and wants to bring them back to excellent condition.
Lastly, by looking at the results you can easily tell that Frank is extremely skilled at what he does. If you need denim repair, be sure to give him a call.
