Before You Toss That Jacket, 5 Signs Reweaving Can Still Save It

Have you ever found a tiny hole or burn in your favorite jacket or coat and thought it was ruined? You’re not alone. Many people throw away great clothes because they don’t know that those items can actually be saved.

Knitwear Doctor has been helping people fix their clothing for over 35 years. We use special hand-sewing methods like reweaving moth holes and other fabric damage. Our goal? To make your garment look like it was never damaged in the first place.

So before you give up on that jacket or suit, check out these 5 signs it might still be worth saving with reweaving clothing repairs.

The Hole is Small (Smaller Than a Quarter)

If the hole in your jacket is tiny, about the size of a coin, we can usually fix it. We take threads from your own garment and carefully sew them back into the hole.

The repair blends in so well, most people can’t even find it afterward. Small holes are easier to hide and repair with great results.

The Fabric is Still Strong

If the fabric around the hole still feels thick and firm, that’s a good sign. Reweaving works best when the fabric isn’t too thin or worn out.

If your jacket still feels strong and holds its shape, there’s a great chance we can fix it. Strong fabric helps the repair blend in better and last longer.

The Clothing is Special to You

Maybe it’s a coat you wore to prom. Or a jacket that belonged to someone you love. Or it might just be really expensive. If the item means something to you, it’s definitely worth trying to save.

Reweaving helps keep those special memories alive. Sentimental or high-value pieces deserve a second chance through reweaving.

The Damage is in a Visible Spot

If the hole is on the front, shoulder, or sleeve, you may want it fixed fast. These are areas people notice right away. That’s where reweaving shines.

We work carefully to make the repair as invisible as possible, even in places everyone sees. Visible damage can still disappear with expert stitching and reweaving skills.

You Want to Be Eco-Friendly

Fixing clothes instead of throwing them away helps the planet. Reweaving moth holes lets you keep your favorite items longer and reduces waste.

It’s a smart and green choice! Repairing clothes reduces landfill waste and supports a more sustainable lifestyle.
