The hem repair process at TILLI

At Tilli, every hem repair is meticulously carried out by expert craftsmen who master the techniques adapted to each type of fabric. Here's how a hem repair at Tilli works:

Assessing the condition of the trousers
Our craftsmen first examine the trouser hem to determine the extent of repair required. Whether it's a loose seam or a completely frayed hem, we tailor our intervention to the wear and tear.

Seam repair or replacement.
If the hem is simply unstitched, our craftsmen carefully restitch the seam, choosing a thread that perfectly matches the pants' original color. For a worn or frayed hem, we recreate a clean seam that blends naturally with the rest of the garment.

Quality finishing
Once the repair is complete, our craftsmen create invisible, solid finishes to ensure maximum durability. The aim is to make the repair totally unobtrusive, while ensuring solidity that stands up to everyday wear and tear.

What types of hems can be repaired?

At Tilli, our craftsmen are able to repair a wide variety of hems, depending on the type of pants and fabric. Here are some examples of the most common hems we repair:
- Simple hem: This is the most classic type of hem, found on the majority of pants. It's a simple fold of fabric held in place by a discreet seam.
- Invisible hem: This type of hem is sewn so that the seam is not visible on the outside of the pants. It's often used for dress pants, such as suits or silk pants.
- Roll hem: Particularly used on lightweight fabrics such as silk or chiffon, this hem is very thin and rolled over itself before being sewn. It's tricky to repair, but our craftsmen master this technique with precision.
- Cuffed hem:Often seen on elegant pants or chinos, the cuffed hem is distinguished by a visible crease on the outside of the pants. This type of hem gives a more formal look, and our craftsmen make sure to maintain this style during repair.
Each type of hem requires specific techniques, and our craftsmen ensure that each repair is adapted to the fabric and style of the pants to guarantee impeccable results.
