Shop minimum

$30 on any gear repair. Small fixes get bundled — bring everything at once and it’s one minimum, not five.

Clean and dry, please

Gear has to be washed before it comes in. Anything that shows up dirty picks up a $35 cleaning charge before work starts.

Bring the part, not the kit

Patching a tent fly? Just bring the fly. Fixing a pack lid? Just the lid. No need to haul in the whole setup.

What doesn’t get repaired

Tent poles, sleeping pads, footwear, and inflatables. Ask and I’ll point you to someone who does.

How it works

Four steps, no guesswork.

Send a picture

Text a photo of the garment and what you want done to 720‑212‑3262.

You'll get a firm quote and a realistic turnaround before you commit.

Call to set a time. Everything gets pinned on you in the shop.

Brede killed it with the modification to my guiding shorts, and did a kick ass repair to my ski touring bibs. Both garments are gonna last me years.

The shop

Brede Fuchs has been sewing for ten years.

Sure Seams is a one-person shop in downtown Klamath Falls, near Main Street. Formalwear one day, blown-out ski bibs the next — and a fair amount of work other shops send away.

Everything is by appointment, so you get the bench to yourself and the garment gets fitted properly.

Capable seamers with industrial capacity machines.
