For many of us, the perfect pair of jeans may only come once or twice in a lifetime.  You know the ones, they fit like a glove and make you feel like a million bucks every time you wear them.  That’s why it’s always so difficult to toss them when they have become torn or just plain worn out.  Fortunately, you may be able to keep them out of the trash a little longer.

Denim Therapy is a service that is gaining popularity among those that want to hold onto their favorite pair of jeans as long as possible.  This may be especially helpful to those who spend lots of money on designer jeans and want a quick and affordable fix.  Denim Therapy repairs the damaged jeans they receive from their customers and ships them back with a typical turn around of about two weeks. 

The service takes care of every problem from tears to broken zippers to belt loop stitching.  And they don’t just throw a patch over it.  They match the color exactly before applying new cotton thread to the damaged area.  According to the Denim Therapy website, the typical cost of repairing a pair of jeans is about $7 an inch which, depending on the size of the damage, can be relatively inexpensive as compared to buying a new pair.

And there’s some good news for expectant moms.  You may not have to rush out and get yourself brand new maternity jeans.  Denim Therapy has a new service that takes your old jeans and inserts expandable side inseams to allow for your growing baby bump.  And they will even take the inseams back out and restore the jeans to their original state after the baby is born and you slim down to your original shape.
