[@ShuuriMisemasuFansub]

Each repairman's name and website has been added to every video in the description box. I will be working on the rest of this 14 part series when I have time. Thank you for your patience.

[@gloriousstereo]

Thank you! Found your channel from Reddit. Love it.

[@xolostangelsgaming2566]

Hello Shuuri would you happen to know what type of sewing machine setup he is using? I am really trying to learn these techniques but my home sewing machine is not as good as these

Wow, who still fits into their jeans from middle school?! Brilliant repair work. I loved how the small rip disappeared completely. If only I were as industrious as he is. I enjoyed the lesson. Thank you!

[@tic857]

I do. My parents had a habit of buying too wide and too long for me as a kid, and would hem them in, and give me a belt. as I grew older I would remove the hems

[@TangoCharlieAlpha]

Now THAT is beautiful! A man taking great pride in his craft. If only everyone could be like this.

[@robertpshaw]

Very nice. The repairman's appreciation for the damage as part of the experience and the value the customer has in the jeans is admirable. Lovely.

[@Maelthorn1337]

Amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail. It's crazy that he's even come up with his own major innovation with tackling certain parts of the repair. This was very interesting and educational, as well as being oddly touching and emotional.

[@kiwisocks]

It looks very nice and I'm sure is of high quality, but it's not a major innovation - he did a fast version of darning, which is one of the two methods of repairing jeans (The other is obviously patching, but that doesn't work well in the crotch area and is a different look is others)

[@Maelthorn1337]

@@kiwisocks Ah, well I'm no jean master. I just went off from what the video said so I'll take your word for it.

[@engletinaknickerbocker5380]

@@kiwisocks It does take a certain amount of patience, dedication and skillset to be able to complete a job of this complexity, and to come up with unique to the situation, specific methods to bring a sense of satisfaction to the wearer.

[@kiwisocks]

@@engletinaknickerbocker5380 If you want to get picky about it: he did it the easy way. gluing those undyed wefts in instead of hand-stitching them. But yes, as I first said "It looks very nice and I'm sure is of high quality", but darning is not a major innovation as made out in the video. It is a skill *any* homemaker as early as 40 years ago had, and a lot of people with basic life skills know how now. Thanks to fast fashion and time=money, it's just not commonly used and why it might be a new skill to *you*. If you're interested in learning, there are many youtube videos. It does not require complex skills, you just need a needle, thread, embroidery hoop/darning mushroom (depending on the project), patience, and a magnifying glass, with the last only needed if you want it as show-less as the gentleman did.

[@engletinaknickerbocker5380]

@@kiwisocks Thank you for the updates on what's going on nowadays. A darning egg (or as some might call a darning wooden mushroom), tapestry needles depending on fabric, darning scissors (little snips), thimble, and the embroidery hoop or something to secure the fabric work area, and various threads are what is in my Tupperware darning kit. My memere worked in the woolen mills as a new immigrant, and I still use some of the very durable thread--it is stiff, and I use it as the initial mesh. I came from a very large family and my mother had a lot of holes to mend, which to the embarrassment of family members she kept these tasks in a large brown paper grocery bag, and trotted it out while waiting for us in our dental, and doctor appointments, etc. Some people knit, and my mother used to darn. Idle hand, devil's work and all that, she deserved her halo. (But, sewing up ripped bloomer waistbands in the waiting area of a busy medical practice was a definitely cringe-worthy. Of course nowadays there's a TV or some other distractions.) By the way, 'fast fashion' was prevalent in child clothing section of discount stores decades ago, so if purchasing something cheap, I used to sew an extra seam around all the areas that get extra wear and tear. Buttons were reinforced, as well. Sometimes I added pockets, too. On the first day of kindergarten I sewed a favorite little ceramic frog in my son's jacket so that he could find it. My sons sported specially designed hand-reinforced patches on their jeans before they even were washed the first time --cotton shrinks, and patches stayed on through the time the garment was outgrown. I didn't take 'home ec' in high school, but collected a few books on the topic. Now, a person can look at Wiki projects. By the time my sons were in high school, life-skills class was required and they brought home some neat projects that they've continued to use. Back to the video. I thought it was well-made and focused on the concept of not just throwing ripped and worn items in a the trash. I thought the information was useful to demonstrate to clients, the work that went into clothing repair in case they had concerns about the charge! I managed to salvage my mother's military wool dress pants that she passed along, which I used for x-country skiing --you can tell my age by the fact that I wore wool pants, and my skis were wooden! Thanks again, and good luck with the darning!

[@gallardo20000]

most people wouldn't even understand how dedicated this man is to the craft... 99% of people wouldn't even think of repairing their denim. Raw denim is one of those things where "if you know you know".

[@dsbmac6476]

I've done this repair work before. Loved hearing his insights because he gave some advanced tips. Never seen that technique of laying filler weft material.

[@iamdanyc93]

dsb mac me neither and I worked for Levi’s they never showed me that technique

[@iamdanyc93]

@@manila3832 it’s hard to say the exact color but you should just take the jeans/fabric with you to a sewing supply store. They could have 50 shades of blue.

[@4boyeez]

Amazing job! I have 4 grown sons and am still repairing much loved denim jeans they've been wearing since teenagers. His technique has the same result but mine seems harder. He worked longer but smarter. I will be trying this!!! Thank you for this video.

[@shorea27]

What I find equally amazing is that he's still the same size 15 years ago.

[@maxfalconi6995]

Japanese people can elevate anything to an art form

[@on10toes]

This is a wonderful and wholesome video in an otherwise dark web. The passion and attention to detail given to the repair of those jeans is remarkable. I wish more jeans in today's market merited this type of care. In a world full of H&M and Uniqlo jeans, the future is dim.

[@boxlogoboy6853]

If you haven’t discovered Kapital by now I feel bad for you homie. You’re truly missing out!

Denim is an artwork, gets better over time especially when repaired

[@rgmfilms5325]

I find the repairing of denim so fascinating, I’ve watched this 3 times already.

[@gallardo20000]

right? i think denim is the most beautiful fabric to ever exist... Just look at the fade on those jeans he sent in they look so good even when they were destroyed

[@Timbo868]

Many years ago I worked in an automotive shop. I was dirt poor, & all my jeans got holes in them. I use to take home red dirty shop rags(I forgot they were in my pockets) I ended up washing them & saving them. I used them to patch up my old jeans. I later got comments from coworkers, telling me I could sell them on eBay. Never did.

[@Preske]

I seriously had to throw away my favorite pair of jeans because the hems were destroyed. I should have known things like that could be repaired...

[@sidehop]

Considering some of the most expensive jeans come from Japan, I can see this business being a niche if you have the experience like him also. Amazing work :D

[@Harley-ir4er]

It's very therapeutic watching a skilled craftsman like Shuuri use his great talent to repair these jeans. I repair my old jeans too but only with more denim and strong glue - They are my grass cutting jeans now. Thank you for the Video.

[@dethmaul]

That's a NICE sewing machine to be able to go over the same spot multiple times. My bobbin gets all bound up and tangled with the upper thread when i do that.

[@graysongjsmith]

Any insight as to what type of glue he is using? It says "special glue" LOL

[@junecrochetfavourites6616]

It's called in English fabric glue, it comes in different types, you can get it as a stick fabric glue, or liquid fabric glue I hope that answers your question? 😁
