Up now on #tmaddtalks Tyler interviews our friend @benjaminbraun in an extended conversation about his jeans featured on @heddels_fades’s #fadeoftheday yesterday. We love the way Ben is wearing, washing and repairing his jeans, as he shares his philosophy on denim care, hemming and why he thinks The Flat Head is making the best jeans in the world. #theflathead #flathead3005 #indigoproof #repairyourjeans #wearyourjeans #washyourjeans #jeansclustergram #denimrepair #denimcare (at Alberta Arts District, Portland)

Oh 43200g, how your hype and mystique inspires and deludes us all… Tyler’s newest edition of #tmaddtalks focuses on the myths and truths of this revered denim machine, and best of all- this is only part one of the series!

Repaired a pretty major crotch blowout on these @rogueterritory #stealthstantons for @danemffrost. These jeans have seen 600+ wears over 3 years and after these repairs, they have a ton more life left in ‘em! Don’t let a crotch blowout kill your jeans! #indigoproof #indigoproofdenimrepair #rogueterritory #denimrepair (at Alberta Arts District, Portland)

Yes it’s possible to hem pants that have map pockets at the hems! Even when they are riveted! Hemmed these #misterfreedom Midnight Rider’s, moved the map pockets up and re-riveted using original MF hardware. It’s all in the details 🔍 #indigoproof #indigoproofdenimrepair #midnightrider #denimrepair (at Alberta Arts District, Portland)

Fresh replacement pocket bags on this pair of #theflathead – you can see the same pair in progress via @rainbowe. Not all pocketbags need this much attention but these had layers of masking tape and home repairs that were ripping out. New life for these babies! #indigoproof #denimrepair #indigoproofdenimrepair (at Alberta Arts District, Portland)

Gettin’ dirty with this pair of #theflathead for a major pocket restoration! I’ll post the finished product on @indigo_proof later today after I get all this masking tape off! #indigoproof #denimrepair #repairyourjeans (at Alberta Arts District, Portland)

Buttonhole restoration achieved! This is one thing Rain has wanted to do for a while and we’re stoked to be able to repair this problem area the most accurate way possible - finished with a hand sewn buttonhole stitch.

This pair of five-hundred-and-one’s is your #crotchshot for today, one of the few actual blowouts we’ve gotten- you guys are so good about getting repairs in early as a preventative measure! Here’s your friendly reminder that you can also send me your most seriously busted crotches, I have the most fun when I have a good challenge in front of me —> visit indigoproof.com for info on how to send ‘em! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 💙💙💙 #indigoproof #indigoproofdenimrepair #levis #levis501 #repairyourjeans #crotchblowout #denim #denimrepair

Awesome news!! We’ve added a new corner to our website where Tyler writes in depth in a weekly column about different topics that will always have at least a little bit to do with denim or repair… check it out and let us know what you think! We’d love input on what you want to hear next! #tmaddtalks #indigoproof #denim #wearyourjeans #washyourjeans #repairyourjeans #denimrepair #rawdenim (at Alberta Neighborhood, Portland OR)

Never have I ever: bought an actual brand new sewing machine! There’s a first time for everything, and we’re stoked to be building this DDL-5550 from the ground up. #indigoproof #indigoproofhq #juki #studioupgrade #denimrepair #holdingitdown #madeinjapan #repairyourjeans (at Alberta Neighborhood, Portland OR)

Restored the totally blown out crotch of this pair of #stussy jeans- who even knew Stüssy had raw denim? I didn’t! #denimrepair #indigoproof #indigoproofdenimrepair #rawdenim #selvedge #repairyourjeans (at Alberta Neighborhood, Portland OR)

Had to snap a couple photos of these beautifies before picking them up and getting them back to @bcm_87 Vintage Levis with natural wear like this is the whole reason anyone cared to make the reproductions that were the basis for many of the top Japanese denim brands today. It was a real treat to work on these and it’s been a good bit of perspective on what continues to make @conedenim so special to this day, and also how impressive so many of the contemporary brands we get to work with are! #denim #denimevolution #shrinktofit #levis #501 #unsanforized #bigE #redline #vintage #60s #indigo #legtwist #indigoproof #indigoproofdenimrepair #denimrepair (at Alberta Arts District, Portland)

Restored the hems of these awesome vintage #bigE #levis, darned and then rehemmed on our #43200g with no length lost for a clean even hemline 👌🏻👌🏻 👌🏻 #indigoproof #indigoproofdenimrepair #vintagelevis #repair #denimrepair #47w70 #unionspecial #denim #repairyourjeans (at Alberta Neighborhood, Portland OR)
