Repairing Ripped Jeans

    I recently ripped a pair of new jeans across the knee from a fall and was wondering if their is any place in Dublin specializing in repairing ripped jeans?

    These are a really expensive pair of jeans that I sometimes wear to work (with a shirt and shoes etc) so they need to look perfect and not patched up or crudely stitched.

    Does anyone know of a really good tailor or repair shop?

    There are places that will fix them well, but something that big, across such a large area in a prominent place that gets a fair bit of wear anyway, i can't see how you're going to get it to look like nothing ever happened.

    That's my fear. It's a 4 inch diagonal clean rip that is very straight. I realise that getting them to look 100% perfect is virtually impossible but even if they were repaired so the work was barely detectable unless it was closely inspected I wouldn't really mind.

    They are actually brand new and would cost around €200 in Ireland (I got them for less then half of the in New York) so I obviously don't want to just discard them because of a little rip.

    Cheers for that, he seems to go a great job and repairing denim. I wouldn't be comfortable sending them away to be repaired though, I was thinking more of a place in Dublin where I could drop them in then pick them up again when they're done.
