@kiya major props to self edge LA for treating my favorite Geller stuff better than I ever did.
I finally wore a hole in the knee of my FW11 Flight Pants after years of wearing them to the airport, or to bed, or to bed at the airport. I knew I wanted to patch them up, but I wanted to do it right, so I start calling around about Tencel and Cupro by the yard. I had no idea what I was doing. Yard minimums meant I might as well make my own flight suit if I gonna patch the pants.
Then I remembered getting some jeans fixed at Self Edge way back when and how they called to check on a detail during the process and I loved that so goddamn much because I hate picking up stuff from the tailor only to find they made things worse. I can not give a **** about my things all on my own, I dont need a strip mall tailor to help me with that.
I went and picked these up and no one had to tell me that some lovely person sat for good long while and did them up right. The patch is this great ribbed cotton in this perfect rhombus shape. Props to whoever did this for me. Ill buy you lunch PM me.
They also did such detailed work on a Geller x Levi shirt that I wear gardening/cooking so it was in ribbons. They matched the Spanish blue threads that run inside of the button placket. Cool.
