How to Repair Jeans with a Fabric Patch | Levi’s 

I still own and wear my special release factory-dyed purple 501s that I bought as a teenager in 1987. I'll be turning 53 this year, and yes, they still fit just barely- they were one size too big when I bought them. The buttonholes are slightly frayed, there is now a tiny threadbare patch on the "knife pocket" (that's what we used to call those little pockets back in the day), and one thread in the fabric on one of the legs has frayed. That is the extent of wear, after 36 years of myself, my wife, and for a couple of years my little brother wearing them at least once every week or two. I wouldn't buy a new pair of Levis- the quality is absolutely awful. The only jeans I've bought recently that are as good as 30+ year old Levis were from the clearance rack at a store I'm not going to name (not the one that begins with W!), and they cost me $6.00 per pair. They don't even have a brand name, and were made in South-East Asia. They are almost perfect knock-offs of Levis 505s from thirty years ago, heavy denim and all. The retail price was originally $10.00, which means Levis could easily still have the same quality and remain profitable. It gives me no pleasure to say this- I've worn Levis all my life. But being cheated will make anyone angry eventually, and Levis company leadership will apparently have to learn that lesson the hard way, which makes me sad and disgusted. P.S.: Kudos to whoever chose the music; I have no idea who the artist is, but that song is pretty good...

how about a tutorial on how to repair a blown out crotch area haha, seriously though... need that tutorial.

How about a toutorial on how to make high quality jeans that lasts longer than a few months?

I wore Levi's for decades, and noticed a quality problem and crotch holes. I mended my Levi's by buying a thicker fabric brand. Whadya know? They cost less.

Live in LEVI'S Love with LEVI'S

Forget the music and explain what you are doing.

I was thinking about giving away like 10 pairs of old baggy levi's that I don't use anymore. Stupid idea. lol. Thanks for this Video!!! :)

I recently saw a Levi's video where they intentionally put holes in jeans. This seems like a much better idea.

That knee repair is almost invisible... Good job !

So simple. Thanks very much

Not sure if i would ever take up repairing jeans myself but i must say the music was damn awesome !

Master tailor for this :)) that was nice..

Nice song

Hey guys! Do you have an e-mail where can I ask some questions? Thanks P.S: Excellent video. Congrats.

Nice

Nice work for you

where do i find the song

What is this song?! I've searched the lyrics to no luck. I even Shazam'd it and that didn't give me anything. Was this song made specifically for this jean repair video??? What's the deal?!

More like how to patch your jeans not repair them. This is stupid.

Easy

How we get that fabric????

Wear and tear just adds character??? OK, but after just one year??? This video would be obsolete if Levi-'s made better Jeans...

Bought some levis for $80 at urban outfitters with holes already in them. Wore them one time and can't wear them again because they ripped soooo easily. nice

What the song

Claro!!! como tengo una maquina para coser

I have a pair.

¿como se llama la cancion de fondo?

REALLY the patch should be on outside and match it to the color of your jeans i know i done it before almost unnoticeable

how do you repair the levis jeans in retail that already have holes as a design? is it a 511-DIY variant?

Man, I need a wife with these SKILLS! Those looks are just a bonus. came here to see if I could do it by myself. Conclusion = buy new jeans or call a tailor......

She looks Lome the kind of girl that had the best stories

Someone what is this song called ?!

Excelente amazing👏👏👏

Song?

Forget everything. Where do you even get staright fit these days

Song name?

Music ????

It’s better

is it bad that I’m using denim from a pair of Levi’s to repair my Wranglers? lol

👏

Name of the song?

👍👍

Okay but what about crotch or inner thigh area for people with thick thighs 😭

Chetan sir ka how to aprroch

Costurera sin dedal cose poco y cose mal

so yeah you sell jeans with holes and then you show ppl how to repair it

Why bother? when I was a teen in the 80's we purposefully made holes...it was such that companies like Levi's started 'distressing' the jeans at the factory and charged extra!

Hahaha too funny repairing

I wouldn't repair the pocket

what is the name of the song ???

Laura es hermosa!

you sell them with holes and then people wanna repair them?

Then why you selling ripped jeans?

Now why can't levis still make jeans with that fit?

It's absolutely nauseating trying to follow along with all these needless jump cuts. Quit screwing around. You didn't make a tutorial at all. This is an ad.

Pf

This is 80s technique

Buy new ones

My Levi jeans have never ripped and I wear them throughout all seasons. I'd bet they can last another 5+ years. Maybe I just have good luck in finding decent quality pairs. One things for sure, never buy them online, always go for the store.

Or buy a new one.

loose the music

Those are I think 501xx blue jeans!

Well how about when there's a whole around where my dick is ay I bought a pair and it only last e months before my dick started showing itself

I swear they only post hipster content here.

Sorry not good that kind I did in past must watch how the Japanese do it

u😷😎..... .

Это вы так барахло ремонтируете?

The knee stiching is just stupid... Who would want to make their jeans like that better to have a hole

what Jean's, she's freaking HOT !!!!!!

To fast this is not a pop video...

Quedo de la chingada

How to fix levis. Throw them away.

I can't do this shit. I don't know how to sew, and I don't own a sewing machine. Give me something that an idiot can do. Because I'm a fucking idiot.
