I bought a pretty sleeveless Castelli jersey from Colorado Cyclist last winter (it was on clearance). When I pulled it out in the spring, I noticed there was a small (~1 inch) hole on one of the seams -- a manufacturer's defect. Arrgh. I took it to the seamstress I usually have do alterations and she did a fantastic job on it -- you would never know that there had been a hole, and there's no evidence of the repair (and she said the new seam is much stronger than the old one). On the other hand, I was a bit chagrined to pay $18 to fix a 1 inch hole on the seam...
