The clothes you repair, along with the memories of your youth, will remain as a testament to your life.
"Repairing is not just about restoring an item to its original condition, but also about building up memories. I would be happy if the item becomes a piece that can be passed on to the next generation," says Otsubo Yosuke.
“The Swing Star driving jacket is a precious piece that I inherited from my friend from my time in Los Angeles, Shige Suganuma of Moon Eyes. I attached colorful patches that I collected in the 1990s to the body and replaced the elastic at the cuffs.
For Levi's® 501 jeans, I reinforce the frayed coin pocket with sashiko thread myself, and for areas that are subject to high stress, such as the knees and crotch, I ask Kazu Miura of YMFACTORY, who is the best repair technician in the universe, to repair them."
