UNBELTS DENIM RESCUE
Edmonton Denim Repair + Alterations
long live your jeans. (And all things denim.)
There's nothing that makes us happier at Unbelts than helping you get more wear out of your clothes. Denim is especially satisfying to fix and fit - it's classic, it's personal, and can save over 3700 litres of water by repairing instead of buying new. This fall, we're proud to introduce denim tailoring, mending, and preservation from our HQ in Edmonton's French Quarter.
Fridays & Saturdays 12-5 p.m.

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
No - you're welcome to walk in anytime on Friday or Saturday, 10-5.
However, if you want a guaranteed appointment slot and a free gift when you arrive, go ahead and book! It helps us plan our staff capacity and ensures you're helped right away.
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.
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 - we'll all thank you!
Our pricing is based on project complexity, and on the time required to deliver Edmonton's highest-quality denim repairs and alterations.
When you visit, we'll carefully assess your item(s) and walk you through your options and pricing. We can help you prioritize services according to what's most important to you: it may be sticking to a set budget, or it may be learning about highly-specialized preservation techniques for your most precious pair of jeans.
Here are some of our starting prices:
- Hemming: from $20
- Hole patching: from $15
- Waist right-sizing: from $50
We are an Alberta Certified Living Wage employer, and all Unbelts team members earn at least Edmonton's living wage (currently $21.40/hour).
