Local: Jeans repair?

Any recommendations for a good jeans repair place? Dealing with crotch blowout. Thanks!

Along the seam? If so, couldn't any decent tailor handle the repair?

Unfortunately it's not along the seam . I may just try the local cleaners.

Are we talking designer $75+ jeans or a pair of Levis?

At the end of the day, you are probably looking at a $20 plus repair job on jeans which are already weak. If these aren't the fancy-dancy variety, i'd just as well call it a day.
