The Whole Enchilada on a Cotton Jumpsuit
We took a jumpsuit that lived an honorable life as an airplane mechanics onesie and gave it a bit of love and fire.
Traditional Mends
A reinforced repair that uses colorful cotton interfacing to strengthen worn denim or wovens, while adding a pop of visible stitching. The stitching weaves the two fabrics together to be stronger than the original garment. This is the natural evolution of a loved garment.
Our stitches are below and all of these patterns are available for both Denim and Woven mends.
And, we have over a hundred different materials, in all the colors from which to choose. And yes, you can supply your own if you prefer.
Dashes on Denim
Old school running stitch. In sashiko speak this is the Boro stitch. No matter where you go, wherever mending has a past, there is a version of this stitch.

Simple Patch with Perimeter Stitch
Perhaps the original fix: a simple patch with a perimeter stitch. Not to be underestimated, it's a clean repair with a simple attitude. We suggest them on our 'get to work clothes' - when the door is closed, headphones on and work is being done in the office, studio, coffee shop.
Denim Patching
Again, old school cool here. For our denim patchwork, we use tonal denim patches with specialty stitches to give it a traditional feel with a true one of one vibe. For 1-2 patches, order Denim patches, if you want a bit more flex, or have 3 patches on the same garment, please order the Whole Enchilada.
Clean Tear Mends
A stitch-only repair for simple rips or tears, finished in either tonal or pop color for a subtle or standout effect. No interfacing required. We offer this repair for both denim and wovens, Note: if there's missing material, then the technical term is a "hole" - go for a patch or mend.
