REWEAVING
Of course, accidents
do happen!
When
a burn, tear or snag damages a precious garment, contact Arrow
for REPAIR AND REWEAVING service.
There
are three types of reweaving:
French Invisible Method
This type of reweaving
is done on very small holes, up to about the size of a dime.
It is a meticulous process in which threads are taken from an
inside seam of the garment and actually hand woven in and out
of all other threads in order to close the hole and make it invisible.
It is time-consuming process and is thus the most expensive method.
Inweave
This is the most
common reweaving process. A piece of fabric from a hidden area
of the garment is placed over the hole and interwoven into the
edges of the hole. It also, is a difficult process and must be
matched exactly with the pattern of the garment. An inweave on
a solid color material may show a discernible square outline.
Reknitting
This type of weave
can be done on knitted fabrics only, such as sweaters, double
knits or wool knits. Visibility depends on the type and color
of the knit and the size of the damage.
How
long does it take?
Allow
2-3 weeks from the date of shipping.
How
much does it cost?
Because
it is a meticulous hand-done technique, reweaving is not inexpensive.
It is a good alternative, however, to discarding a favorite suit
or sweater in the event of damage. Before we begin any work you
will receive estimate for your approval after we receive your
garment.
Is
the job GUARANTEED?
ARROW
REWEAVING IS GUARANTEED FOR THE LIFE OF THE GARMENT! WE CANNOT GUARANTEE
THAT THE WEAVE WILL BE COMPLETELY INVISIBLE.
Is
damage caused by insects repairable?
Yes,
but we recommend cleaning the garment first. the extent of damage
caused by moths, crickets and other insects is not always apparent
until after cleaning.
If I
have several holes to be repaired, how can I let you know?
You are responsible
to mark the areas to be re-woven and we strongly suggest that
you examine the garment with light, such as a lamp, behind the
fabric in order to see the holes. You can use straight pins,
safety pins or tailor's chalk to indicate the work area. Your
note to us should indicate the number and locations of areas
you wish to be repaired.
Do
as thousands of Arrow customers have done.
Trust your
garments and household items to the loving and protective care
of Arrow Fabricare.
