Why the seam

We started by trying to mend what people already owned and gave up: most of it could not be mended at all. Bonded seams come apart in sheets, a fused collar cannot be re-cut, and a moulded zip has no parts. So we stopped mending other people's clothes and started selling clothes that could be mended instead.

Everything in the shop is sewn with a real seam allowance, in one fabric, with a zip or a button we keep in a drawer upstairs. That is the whole test. If it fails the test it does not come in, however good it looks.

What the test is

Included in the price

Ten years of
mending

How it works
The back of a plain white cotton t-shirt worn by a standing figure.

Before you buy

What the ten years covers
Seams, buttons, zips, cuffs, elbows, knees and pockets, for ten years from the date on the receipt, however the damage happened. We do not ask.
What it does not cover
Fabric that has worn through over its whole surface, and anything we did not sell you. When a garment is finished we say so and we take it back for rags.
How long
Two weeks in winter, four in September. You can leave it with us or post it; we pay the postage back to you, not to us.
Visible or invisible
We stitch in one red by default, because the mend is the point. Ask and we will match the cloth instead, at no difference in price.
Sizes
Six sizes, cut long. Every garment has at least four centimetres in the seam, so a size can be let out once and taken in twice.
Returns
Thirty days unworn, with the tag. Once it has been altered or mended it is yours, and that is usually within the first week.

The mending list

One letter a season: what came back, what broke in a way we did not expect, and what we changed because of it. No offers, because there are none.

Where the repairs happen

The workroom is at the back of the shop and the door is open. If you want to see your jacket being taken apart, come on a Thursday.

Three pairs of jeans folded in a stack. Folded garments in navy and cream laid one on the other. Open rails and folded stock on the shop floor. The length of the shop with rails along both walls.
