Pant and bib repair

Pants and bibs are the second most common item in the shop after jackets. Knees, seats, cuffs and zippers wear first, and all of them are rebuildable.

Hunting bibs, ski pants, rain pants and insulated bibs come in with blown-out knees, worn seats, frayed cuffs, torn scuff guards and side zippers that no longer run. We rebuild knees and seats with new panels, replace full zippers or just the sliders, re-seal patches on waterproof fabric and replace suspender clips, buckles and snaps.

If the pants are waterproof-breathable, every patch is sealed so they stay dry. If they are insulated, we keep the insulation intact and close the shell over it.

Questions about pants & bibs

Can you shorten or lengthen technical pants?

Yes. Hemming and other alterations on technical pants are done with factory construction. See alterations.

Will a knee rebuild match the fabric?

We keep a range of technical fabrics, but a new panel is visible and we cannot guarantee a color or pattern match. We confirm the fabric with you before we start.

You guys repaired a black Mountain Hardware shell jacket for me. Both the pit zippers were coming apart. You did an awesome job. The craftsmanship is outstanding. Thank you

I just received back the jacket I sent you for repair. Two things: First, holy moly, that was fast!! Second, you did an amazing job. The repair is unrecognizable as a repair, just perfect, and the zipper runs smoother than I recall it running even when new.
