This is a cheaper alternative to invisible mending (that--referring to invisible mending, if done properly, can make your pants look like it never ripped). Sadly, it costs an arm and a leg--for good reasons because it's painstaking hard work.
Right before your eyes are the very pants that Aviation Geek Boy (currently sick but recovering nicely) grieved over in Korea. They were torn at the back pocket. He didn't know what to do and he needed it fixed ASAP, so he called me for help. Check this post: A Distant Cry for Help
I am happy to say his pants are now fixed! It wasn't fixed in Korea though since it was near impossible for him to find a reliable clothing repair place (he found a few but they said they couldn't/wouldn't do this type of repair)--let alone, communicate in fluent Korean what he wanted.
I bet you're sitting on the edge of your seat, dying to know where he got his pants fixed.
Let me spare you the agony of waiting and guessing:
The answer is: HERE. Balsam Custom Tailors.
In desperation, the Boy carried his torn pants and together they travelled 8163.64 km on an airplane from Seoul to here with the hope of having his pants fixed. They arrived safely yesterday morning--Boy still sick but okay, pant still in pant-like form. The little pant problem has been remedied but it's beyond words how sad I am to know that the Boy and his pants will fly back to Seoul first thing tomorrow morning.
Boohoo.
OK. I lied. He didn't just come to get his pants repaired. He came to visit me.
$1400. 10 hour flight. 2 nights in Vancouver.
This. Is. Love. Baby.
