Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — we use specialized industrial sewing machines with Teflon-coated presser feet, walking feet, and heavy-duty needles designed specifically for leather. We match thread color and weight precisely. Our seams are clean and the alteration is virtually invisible. We have 12+ years of experience working with leather garments.
We offer a full range: shortening (hem and sleeves), taking in or letting out, zipper replacement, lining replacement, pocket repair, patching, resizing after weight changes, and structural modifications. We work with lambskin, cowhide, goatskin, and exotic leathers.
Leather jacket hemming starts at $75, sleeve shortening from $85, zipper replacement from $85, and taking in/letting out from $95. Prices are higher than standard fabric because of the specialized equipment and expertise required. We always provide a free quote before any work begins.
Yes — we resize fur coats, adjust fur collars and cuffs, shorten fur-trimmed hems, and repair damaged fur garments. Fur work requires delicate handling and specialized cutting techniques. Our master tailor has extensive experience with mink, fox, rabbit, and shearling.
Absolutely. Suede requires different handling than smooth leather — it cannot be ironed, steam can damage it, and needle holes are permanent. We use specialized suede needles and techniques to ensure clean, professional results on jackets, pants, skirts, and accessories.
Most leather and suede alterations take 7–10 business days due to the specialized handling required. Simple work like zipper replacement may be faster. Rush service is available for select leather alterations — contact us to check availability.
Yes — leather zipper replacement is one of our most common requests. We source high-quality YKK zippers that match the weight and style of your jacket. We remove the old zipper, install the new one with matching thread, and ensure smooth operation. Starts at $85.
In leather and suede, needle holes are permanent — which is why precise workmanship is critical. Our tailor uses the original stitch holes whenever possible. For alterations that create new seam lines, we place stitches strategically to minimize visibility and use matching thread for a clean finish.
