Denim repair in UK

[majormajor]

Paid a visit to the Denim Doctor in Manchester today.

Picked up a couple of items that Michael had been working his magic on....

Here is a hole in a vintage Lee Chore Coat that looked pretty unsightly:

Because the garment is blanket-lined, it needed to be taken apart a little to access the back of the hole, but here is the excellent (IMHO) result:

And here's a pair of Lee 1937 Cowboys/Riders I had walked around in barefoot for a year (when I lived in sunnier climes), leaving a three inch hole. I now want to cuff them with shoes, and voila! - no hole!.....

Wow - thats real invisible denim mending!

Aha! This is the place on Cross Street near the Royal Exchange Theatre! I have some items that need repairing and I knew there was a place in town, but couldn't remember the name or the exact location. Thanks for jogging my memory.

Yup, that's the place. Upstairs, next to the Chop House on the corner. Well worth a visit!

He has done about 5 pairs of mine including tapering of the IronHeart 634s and the result was very good. Recommended.

Impressive work. I assume it doesn't come cheap?

 

[Graemsay]

Actually he's surprisingly cheap. There's a pricelist on the website.
