We'll send you updates along the way, so you can track your item's progress. Clothing repairs include: seam repairs, zipper replacement, patchwork and fabric restoration, high performance sports repair, hemming and alterations, tears, rips & road rash, button replacements, and more. Repair costs depend on the type of damage and the garment's material. After you upload a photo of the item, we'll provide you with a quick quote that includes both repair and shipping fees. Most repairs range from $15.00 - $45.00 | |||
