Repair, restore and keep your trousers in motion.
Your clothes become more sustainable with every wear. That’s why we design our trousers to last, and when small repairs are needed, they shouldn’t mean the end of their journey.
Here you’ll find guides on sewing a button, fixing a blind stitch and reattaching turn-up hems. Order a free repair kit or send your trousers to us and we’ll help you extend their life—because every move matters.
Sewing on a button
What you need: a needle, thread, a toothpick or matchstick and scissors.
1. Cut a length of thread (about 40 cm), double it and thread the needle. Tie a knot at the ends and trim off any excess.
2. Push the needle up from the back of the fabric where the button was attached (look for old stitch holes). Loop the thread through the knot to lock it in place.
3. Place the button over the fabric. Insert the needle from the back through one hole, then down through the opposite hole. Repeat this process a few times to secure the bottom two holes.
4.Place a toothpick or matchstick under the button while stitching to create a small gap between the button and fabric. This prevents it from being sewn too tightly.
5. Repeat the stitching process through the remaining holes until secure.
6. Remove the toothpick then wrap the thread tightly around the stitches under the button three to four times. This creates a small ‘stem’ for flexibility.
7. Slide the needle through the wrapped thread twice to lock it, then trim any excess.

Repair a hem without visible stitches
What you need: A needle, thread and scissors.
1. Cut a length of thread, double it and thread the needle. Tie a knot at the ends and trim the excess.
2. Start at the overlocked edge of the hem, pushing the needle through from the inside. Loop the thread through the knot to secure it.
3. Insert the needle through one or two threads of the outer fabric (just above the hemline) to make the stitches nearly invisible from the outside.
4. Push the needle back through the hem fold, about 5-7 mm from the previous stitch.
5. Repeat this process in small, even intervals to keep the hem secure but discreet.
6. When you reach the end, stitch through the seam allowance a couple of times, then loop the thread through twice to lock it before trimming the excess.
Pre-loved: Give your trousers a second life
We want you to love and wear your trousers for as long as possible. When they reach the end of their journey with you, we’ll buy them back and repurpose them – doing our part to reduce waste and keep fashion more sustainable.
Fix a loose hem
What you need: A needle, thread and scissors.
1. Cut a length of thread, double it and thread the needle. Tie a knot at the ends and trim the excess.
2. Sew close to the seam where the hem was previously attached, following any existing stitch holes if visible. Push the needle through from the inside of the trouser leg to hide the knot.
3. Insert the needle through the folded turn-up hem and back through all fabric layers, about 2-3 mm from where the needle first came up.
4. Continue stitching every 5 mm along the hem, ensuring the stitches are small and even for durability. Keep the needle close to the fabric edge to maintain a clean finish.
5. Once you reach the end, secure the thread by stitching through the seam allowance a couple of times. Slide the needle through the loops twice to lock the thread, then trim any excess.
