Fixing a ripped pair of pants? Probably, I’ve watched my mother in law fix a pair of pants on her sewing machine in a couple of minutes. Let’s say it takes 5 minutes of fully loaded labor time and de minimus materials, that’s $60/hour, which isn’t terrible, especially since repair is likely to be an on demand thing that supplements more profitable lines like alterations.

What if there's only 20 pants to be fixed on a slow day.. If you send it off, you have logistics and both the tailor and the sales person need to turn a profit.
