In the spirit of being positive here, I had to share a nice thing that happened today.
A couple of months ago, the riveted copper button popped off one of the back pockets of my David Kahn jeans when it caught on a wooden chair. I was heartbroken! They are at least 2 years old, but were my favorite jeans ever, an unusual twisted seam style.
I went to my tailor, then to the alterations people at Nordstrom (where I purchased them), and no one could repair them because they couldn't take the rivet apart in order to put it back on the jeans.
Out of desperation, and figuring I had nothing to lose since the jeans were headed for the trash, I mailed them to David Kahn with a letter, and today they arrived back on my doorstep, completely repaired with a brand-new copper button! Gotta love that kind of service. Thank you, David Kahn
