Denim
Denim on SCRAPD is the reworked, repaired, and rebuilt kind - jeans taken in or let out, jackets patched and embroidered, skirts and shorts cut down from something larger. Denim is one of the most durable fabrics ever woven, which is exactly why it deserves a second life instead of a landfill. The makers here treat a worn pair of jeans as raw material, not waste.
Each piece is one-of-one. A patched denim jacket carries the specific repairs that maker chose; a pair of reworked jeans has a hem and a fit that exists once. That is the opposite of mass denim, where the distressing is sprayed on by a machine and the "vintage wash" was never worn by anyone.
Because every SCRAPD storefront is hand-reviewed by a real person before it can sell, the Denim category is genuinely handworked - no factory resale, no dropshipped stock. Browse jeans, jackets, skirts and shorts, and other denim pieces, each altered or built by the maker selling it.
Denim - common questions
Is the distressing real or factory-applied?
On SCRAPD it is done by hand by the maker - repaired wear, hand-sanded fades, hand-stitched patches. Factory-distressed mass denim and untouched factory resale are not allowed; storefronts are hand-reviewed before they can list.
How do I get the right fit when each piece is unique?
Every denim listing includes the maker’s measurements - waist, rise, inseam, hip. Because pieces are reworked by hand, go by the stated measurements rather than the original label, which may no longer reflect the fit.
Can reworked denim be altered further or repaired later?
Often yes. Many denim makers offer repairs or alterations - check the listing or message the maker directly. Some SCRAPD sellers advertise repair services on their storefront.
Will the same jacket or jeans come back in stock?
No. Denim pieces here are one-of-one. Once a jacket or pair of jeans sells, that exact item is gone - there is no restock or duplicate size.
I rework denim - what do I need to sell on SCRAPD?
Apply for a storefront and a real person reviews it, usually within 72 hours. Your pieces need to be genuinely reworked, repaired, or rebuilt by hand - SCRAPD does not allow plain factory resale.
Why buy reworked denim instead of new jeans?
Denim is built to last decades, so reworking an existing pair keeps a durable garment in use and out of the waste stream. You also get a fit and finish that no factory run can repeat.
