Every pair of denim repaired instead of purchased new saves over 3700 litres of water - and keeps your dollars in your community. Unbelts is proud to offer size-inclusive, gender-affirming denim mending, alterations, and preservation from our HQ in Edmonton's French Quarter / Bonnie Doon neighbourhood.

  • Preserve your favourite pair with reinforcements and patching
  • Extend or reduce your waistband to fit where your body’s at now
  • Update your leg taper or length for a style refresh

Our favourite tip: Thrift your next pair of jeans instead of buying new. For (way) less than a new pair of premium denim, we’ll customize your preloved GWG jeans - or any mostly-cotton pair - to exactly your shape and desired silhouette.

  • Edmonton’s best denim tailors

    Decades of experience with specialized denim skills and equipment.

  • No gender assumptions

    All we need to know are your preferred pronouns and desired fit.

  • Body Neutral

    We don’t use words like “flattering” when suggesting alterations; we sew for your comfort.

  • Premium Upcycled Materials

    We use buttery-soft, luxury patch lining and repurposed jeans components for repairs.

OUR SERVICES

PERFECT HEMMING

If you're wondering where to get jeans hemmed in Edmonton, wonder no longer. Our experienced tailors offer budget-friendly straight stitch hems, as well as more complex options like chain-stitch and Euro-style hemming (premium preservation of your original hem).

HIP + WAISTBAND RIGHT-SIZING

Extend your waistband for comfier fit around your tummy and hips, or have us remove fabric for a snugger feel. Our stretch belts are perfect for adding or subtracting an inch or two of waist room, but our sewing team can give you a truly custom fit. 

LEG TAPERING

Go from wide-leg to bootcut (and, yes, back again). Our premium denim repair team can add and remove leg width wherever you need it. Pro tip: this is our favourite way to update thrifted jeans. 

CROTCH & INNER-THIGH REINFORCEMENT

You just live a little harder, ride a little longer, lunge a little deeper. We. Love. It. We'll not only patch those worn-out spots, we'll prevent further deterioration with premium materials and expert stitching.

HOLE PATCHING + MENDING

We know how to patch holes in knees, fix holes near belt loops, and reinforce holey elbows. Choose from visible mending or invisible repair techniques for full functionality that matches your aesthetic. 

POCKET REPLACEMENT + REPAIR

Losing quarters? We fix and even replace inner pocket bags, front pockets, and rear pockets so you can keep your cart loonies close. 

FAQs

Do I need to book ahead?

No - you're welcome to walk in anytime on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.

However - appointments are helpful if you have more than one pair of jeans, or if you feel your jeans need special attention. We offer a welcome gift when you book ahead, because we’re able to plan our staff capacity so you're helped right away.

What are your turnaround times?

We need one week to complete most repairs and alterations, and we'll set your pickup date with you at your fitting.

We may be able to accommodate rush orders - just ask.

Why do I have to wash my jeans before bringing them in?

Speaking simply - it's the law. We're not licensed to handle unwashed garments, and we could get in big trouble from Alberta Health Services for doing so. Please bring freshly-laundered jeans!

How much do your services cost?

Our pricing is based on project complexity, because we pay our sewing team living wages for their time and expertise.

The result is Edmonton's highest-quality denim repairs and alterations, but we’ll help you prioritize what’s most important to you: It may be sticking to a set budget, investing in highly-specialized preservation techniques for your most beloved pair of jeans, or somewhere in between.

When you visit, we'll carefully assess your item(s) and walk you through your options and pricing. Some of our starting prices:

  • Hemming: from $20
  • Hole patching: from $20
  • Waist right-sizing: from $50

We are an Alberta Certified Living Wage employer.
