Breathe new life into your clothes with busted zippers or rips and tears when Patagonia's Worn Wear Wagon rolls into town. The first stop (since yesterday's launch from the brand's Ventura, Calif. headquarters) is at Mollusk Surf Shop tomorrow, April 4th. From 4 to 7pm, find the staff from Patagonia's repair facility in Reno, Nev. at the repair mobile, offering free mends and fixes on torn or broken clothing and repair tutorials—no matter the brand. There will also be used Patagonia items available for purchase, and a special screening of a surf film, The Fisherman's Son, at 8pm.

The vehicle then moves to Four Barrel Coffee on Tuesday, April 7 from 8am to 2pm. Once again, you can either ask staff to repair your clothes, or learn how to repair them yourself. After a quick afternoon break, the tour will continue on to Yerdle's headquarters on York Street. Repairs and DIY tutorials will only happen from 5:30 to 6:30pm, but the on-site party will carry on until 10pm. So do your part in reducing consumption—and lowering the overall impact on the planet—by fixing the broken items in your closet.
