I have a thing for ripped jeans… which makes it no surprise that my closet consists of a few pairs, these being my current favorites. Especially since they’ve had a makeover. These jeans are relaxed and have no stretch in them — gives you that homey feel… hence ‘boyfriend’ jeans. But being the thin jeans they are with rips… those rips slowly turn in to big, big, and bigger holes.

So yes, I gave them a makeover. Okay, the tailor did. But I didn’t know they could do it. I asked them to reinforce the holes to prevent them from ripping further and ta-da! They sewed a patch around the hole and cut out the center so I didn’t end up with a tacky denim patch on my jeans. That plus the vertical sew made the stitching invisible.

Definitely worth it. I’m currently loving my Elliots. Just. Like. New.

XO,

P.S. If you’ve ripped your jeans where they’re not supposed to be ripped { ie. the crotch, the knee, oh I’ve done it all before! } the tailor can fix it as well. I ripped a giant hole in the crotch area before and they patched it up – couldn’t even tell it was ripped! Or alternatively, check out Denim Therapy.

Have you gotten a piece of the action yet? One word of caution: careful how you do denim, cause denim CAN be done wrong! But when it’s done right, it’s HAUTE!

So what are you waiting for? Get yo’ jean on!
