Thread & Tide

Repairs

The repair room is the heart of the studio

Every Thread & Tide garment is repaired for life — buttons free, everything else at cost. We also take in other labels when the garment deserves it. Send photographs first and we'll confirm price and turnaround before you part with anything.

Photographs help us quote accurately the first time. If you're unsure whether something can be saved, send it anyway — the answer is yes more often than you'd think.

One of the whole garment, one close-up of the damage. Include the care label for garments from other labels.
