Joe's jeans predicament- button popped off- should i take back?
Permalink Closed

what would you do if one of the back buttons fell off?  these are the jeans:

http://www.goclothing.com/womens-joes-pleatcig-blk.html

$158- got them for $58 during the anthro sale, so it was a great price (i think lilykind got them too maybe?)

I could return them and get my money back, but they were so cheap and i'm sad because i can't find them again for that price =(  they were the kind of buttons that aren't sewn, but are machine inserted through the fabric.  I loved the wash and wore them semi-often (maybe once a week?), plus i have a HELL of a time finding jeans i like.  i never thought they looked super great though.  okay, but not my favorites.  what should i do ahh?

Can you take them to a tailor or something to put the button back on?  Maybe they have a little machine or something.  Or you could maybe switch out the buttons to regular ones?

I think these are both great ideas.

i think if you could find a good denim tailor in your area they could put them back on for you. i've heard of girls doing this before. just make sure it's a good tailor and not some random dry cleaner/tailor who might do a sloppy job. for the price you got the jeans for, i'd say its worth the cost of tailoring!

I think that a tailor who speicalizes in denim will be able to put them back on for you. I don't know how much it will be, but if you're wearing them once a week it seems like you do like them a lot.

I have a denim tailor in LA where I take all my "problem jeans". I'm sure there is one in NYC as well.

i definitely agree with trying the tailor first, if they really cant help you then return them, what are you going to do with a pair of broken jeans? plus, they're not you're favorites so its not that big of a loss...please review if you do find a good denim tailor in ny, i havent had any luck finding any in ny...

The same thing happened to me with a pair of R & R's. I just went to Joanne fabrics and bought a new metal button. It was super easy to replace and it only cost a buck or two.
