Reweaving is a darning technique that uses closely spaced stitching to mimic the weave of denim, allowing the repair to blend into the original fabric. Thread is carefully selected to match the denim’s color, including its unique fading and wear, creating a discreet, nearly invisible repair.
Vintage denim patches are applied to the exterior of the garment, with finished edges and stitching for reinforcement and durability.
