These bluejeans came in to Ojen’s State Street Alterations with a tear along the crotch seam.  The client was worried that they would not be able to be repaired as the material tore away right at the edge of the seam, and had been worn thin.

Here is a close up of the tear.  You can see the tear along the seam and how the denim material has become thin and has frayed.  Due to the nature of the problems these jeans would require a patch in order to strengthen the denim along the edge of the seam.  The client wanted the jeans to have the same fit as they had originally, so the patch had to be extremely precise.

Here is a photo of the completed repair.  The torn and frayed areas of these bluejeans have been eliminated and are now reinforced by the color coordinated patch.  Since the seam carries along the same edge and overall length, it maintains the original size and fit.

Ojen’s State Street Alterations was able to bring these jeans back to life using their years of experience.  Most folks have to go to New York City or Los Angeles to get this kind of repair done.

Here is a favorite pair of bluejeans that the owner thought was a lost cause.  They  called Ojen’s State Street Alterations and they had the owner bring them by for an evaluation. Ojen’s took on the challenge to bring these favorite jeans back to life.

Here is the first step in the process, using a custom cut patch for the tear in order to maintain the original shape of the jeans.

The second step consists of stitching the patch so it exactly matches the grain of the denim weave.  This requires painstaking attention to detail and an incredible amount of precision.

This is a closeup photo of the second step in Ojen’s bluejeans repair process.  Look at the number of individual lines of stitching, and remember that many are slightly different shades of blue.

This shows how we continue to fill in the spaces in the patch, getting the remaining area of the patch filled in to look just like the original denim material.
