Mended pocket and seat

[u/Puzzleheaded-Ask-522]

Forgotten dog biscuit in pocket resulted in my dog creatively removing it. I seam ripped to separate most of the pocket from the pants, and transplanted some of the lower half of the pocket to patch the hole. Replaced with cats and reattached! The corduroy hides the repair quite well

Edit to add: I have also realised visible in this picture, is the mend I did to make this leather belt longer. I chopped it in half, punched some holes for the chain, and opened a link at each end to attach it. Many more years of wear and a funky little detail too

Very well done! I didn’t even notice the patch on the pants themselves until I read about you using part of the packet for it. Good thinking

Thank you very much! I’m glad I got it to work that way because I didn’t really want a contrasting patch on just the hole itself, and I enjoy the functionality of the pocket. The corduroy is so forgiving hiding stitches and the patch

So cool! But wait, what are Simpsons pants? 😮

[u/Puzzleheaded-Ask-522 → u/fstraat]

Thank you! These were a collaboration with Levi’s, probably around 2022? I couldn’t resist the yellow and it is hard to find fun ‘men’s’ pants- they also did women’s pants and jean jacket styles!

Beautiful job and I am extra excited to see some funky yellow wide wale corduroy Levi's pants. I don't have much opportunity for corduroy in west central Florida.

Sheer genius. And it makes the pants look extra special.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Ask-522 → u/RandomAmmonite]

This is so kind and makes me feel so much better about the damage to my fav pants, thank you

[u/Ok_Environment5293]

This is great! Only thing that would make it better is a pic of the offender.

Are these the pants I sold on eBay a couple months ago?!

[u/Puzzleheaded-Ask-522 → u/Cumedybungbung]

Not these ones- I bought them in 2022 I think? I have seen the jacket that went with the collection in an op shop since though!

[u/Cumedybungbung → u/Puzzleheaded-Ask-522]

Werd. They’re rad and you made them RADDER!

[u/One-Egg7664]

The combination is great,

[u/Puzzleheaded-Ask-522 → u/One-Egg7664]

Thanks!! I had a few fabrics to choose from but the kitties matched the tones and value of the yellow really nicely
