Mending

If you have something that needs mending, please:

    1. Launder your clothes before bringing them in
    2. Bring your clothes to the shop, during our regular business hours (no appointment needed!)
    3. If you have it, bring matching matching thread/patch/buttons. We might not have the exact color for the repair you need. If you are not concerned about color, you can skip this step
    4. Be prepared to pick up your repair within the next week. We might be able to do it on-the-spot if we are not busy, but no promises!

Estimated* mending price list (common repairs)

Buttons - $2-4 ea

*Note, prices are dependent on size, material, and complexity.
