I got recommended here by Bird (boutique clothes store) to get my jeans hemmed. This place far exceeded my expectations: friendly service, cheap hem ($ 15 bucks), great quality work, and quick service (10 minutes to hem jeans — albeit this typically is a 1 wk turnaround). They also have a cool assortment of quality denim including imported Japanese threads. Super awesome find!

This is an awesome spot for denim, their shop has racks of nice looking jeans and a cool workbench. The people are pretty nice and the service was good.
I got one pair of jeans tapered to match another pair ($ 35), and they turned out exactly as I asked. They did a good job stitching, and finished it in about 5 days.
Overall, I’d bring any jeans i might need tailored here in the future unless I’m out of the area. In general I wouldn’t go far out of my way just to go here, but since it’s right off the Nassau G, shouldn’t be too difficult.
Note to self: next time ask them to taper at the ankles just a bit more.

I had a pair of selvage jeans repaired here. I had a pretty huge crotch hole, and for $ 25 they did a really good job. The stitch color isn’t EXACT, but for the price it cant be beat and the work adds character to the pants.

Got 2 pairs of jeans repaired here & they were done within a week. Awesome! Wore one pair for the first time post-​repair & after a couple of hours, I sat down, shifted in my seat & they tore more than an inch right below the repair. When I took them back to the shop to ask for a refund, they refused it AND I was told the fabric was too thin & flimsy for them to fix again. Really?! If you think the fabric’s too thin & flimsy to repair, then why’d you take my money for a repair in the first place? I will never be going back there! What a ripoff.

Dropped a pair of jeans off to be repaired on Saturday, and picked them up today. I had a blown-​out crotch, and the repair would be totally imperceptible unless I told you that it had been repaired. They reinforced the rip and stitched over it. At $ 25, this service is a steal.

Great place to shop. A huge of variety of high end & vintage denim pieces ranging from accessories, jeans & jackets. They also do repairs, go here instead of a regular tailor to get anything denim repaired or altered.

Exceptional shop. I didn’t even get to purchase anything but I had to stop by and show them some love just for their amazing customer service. There were two guys working when I dropped in on Saturday of Labor Day weekend. They immediately welcomed me into the store and asked if I had any questions about the products. They explained to me the process of jean making there and inquired about my style and fit. They were super forthcoming about the price ranges of everything and suggested I try several pair to get the best fit for me.
So it turned out their «Slim» cut jeans were perfect for me except they didn’t have my size! I tried a 34 in the Slim cut jean and they were just a tad too loose and I tried a 33 in the regular more «boot» cut which fit perfectly in the waist but I hated the leg. Considering this shop is located in the center of Brooklyn’s Greenpoint neighborhood I was really impressed with the fit of the slim cut jean. I have nice chiseled calves :-) and didn’t feel they were too tight at all. The gentleman (from Australia I forget his name) wrote down the name, size, and fit of the jeans on a business card for me to call or check the site for when they get more in in my size.
I truly can’t express how laid back, helpful, funny, and all around genuine these guys were. You don’t often get that in a lot of designer boutiques selling expensive jeans. They suggested several neighborhood bars and restaurants to try if we were interested in sticking around the area after dark. You can’t buy that type of customer service these days. These guys are def giving that «New Yorkers are all rude, arrogant, assholes,» stereotype a run for it’s money. I’ll certainly be back on my next trip to the Big Apple.

Recently had two pairs of jeans repaired here. Couldn’t be happier with the service, outcome, and price. I wouldn’t bring denim anywhere else!
Will definitely be back to shop when I’m in the market for something new.

So glad I found this place, based on other Unilocal reviews. I needed a place to get a pair of jeans hemmed, and didnt want to go to a dry cleaner. Im not exactly sure what I searched on Unilocal for this store to come up, but thankful it did. I dropped my jeans off to get hemmed and the owner Loren, didnt happen to be there at the time, but a very nice and polite worker helped me. Upon picking my jeans up, I made sure i went on a Friday night, with a good chance to bump into Loren. I hopped on my bike and took a ride over with another pair of jeans that had been sitting in my drawer for months with no use. I didnt really like the way they fit, but they were a quality pair of jeans. Loren happened to be there tonight and told me he can fix them up for a much better fit. He also told me to try on a pair of his Soldier and Brave’s based on the jeans that I happened to be wearing at the time. AWESOME jeans, AND $ 89 bucks?! Ill take em! This is by far the best jean store I have ever been to in my life, and to top it off Loren is a complete gentleman. Extremely polite and helpful and i cant wait to go back next week to pick up the jeans that have no use because of fit issues and put some wear and tear on them. Top notch, 5 star joint.

Excellent, curated selection of denim + exceptional service + and super friendly owner make this joint a great place to shop. If that wasn’t enough, genius repairs are available too.

Denim wizard! I brought some jeans in a few weeks ago and was quoted $ 30 to take them in and reshape them. When I picked them up the next week, the total cost was just $ 15 and I walked away with a perfect pair of jeans. I really have not taken them off since!
Excellent work, will be back for sure.

As a shop that specializes in denim, I was excited to check this place out. The second I walked in, I felt like I was transported to a mini jeans factory from another century.
However, I was disappointed that no one wanted to assist me. I was probably standing in the tiny shop for a few minutes, wondering who was a customer and who was actually working there. Maybe it’s possible that the employee wasn’t even in that room. Who knows. Either way, I would’ve liked to speak with someone about getting a pair of jeans custom made!

Just brought some jeans to be hemmed here for the first time and they did a great job. Matched the stitching perfectly. I live right across the street and get a lot of my clothes adjusted, so I’m glad Loren moved into the neighborhood.

I can’t believe no one has reviewed this place yet. Loren opened last summer, and I passed by forever walking to the park until I finally stopped in with my girlfriend one day. As jean aficionados, we were both shocked at how awesome it is. Their brands are all designed in-​house, but the prices are insane! My gf has bought several fits in their Soldier & Brave jeans, and I have two washes in the men’s version now. The denim is fantastic and the fits are great, especially on her ;), but the best part is the price… they’re $ 69! Go find a pair of designer jeans like these for that price and get back at me.
A few months ago they got in a new men’s line, Blksmth, and I already bought two pairs of those. They’re a turn of the century working jean cut with a heavier denim, but they have some nice modern flourishes. They’re breaking in beautifully. They cost a bit more at $ 129, but they are my favorite pants I’ve ever owned. People ask me all the time where I bought them. I hope this place is around forever, because I don’t want to have to buy 10 pairs so I never run out.
Oh yeah! They also do tailoring and hand-​made jeans in the store! They have several machines, a cutting table, a riveter, rolls of selvedge denim… the works. Loren Cronk, the owner, is a jean expert and can do anything you need. He is also one of the friendliest and most helpful guys you’ll ever meet. I’ve stopped in several times at night and was greeted with a beer. Also, the hand-​made jeans he has for sale will blow your mind if you’re a real denim junkie. The repairs and hemming are also really cheap and expertly done. I can’t recommend this place enough.
