For hemming distressed jeans, we recommend the "hem-preserving" technique! You can shorten the length while preserving the worn look of the hem!

Hello! We are Reparella, a specialty shop for clothing and bag repairs.

For hemming distressed jeans and similar items, we recommend the "leave the hem intact/leave the distressed finish" option!

If you simply shorten the hem without preserving its texture, the distressed details disappear, changing the overall look, which is a shame...

With the "hem-preserving process," you can shorten the length while retaining the worn-out look of the hem.
(Please note that the fabric will be slightly thicker because the original hem is tucked in and sewn in.)

Because this process takes longer, it will cost more than the usual hemming fee, but we recommend this method for altering your favorite jeans!

Also, if you specifically want a chain stitch finish, simply tell us, "Please leave the distressed hem and finish it with a chain stitch," and we can do that for you!
 
*Please bring in a clean, washed item when requesting alterations.
*We also have finished product samples available. Please feel free to ask our staff if you would like to see them.

At our shop, we offer alteration services for both women's and men's clothing, including clothing you already own, as well as clothing purchased from other shopping malls or online.

We look forward to your visit.
