Why Specialist Sheepskin Alterations Are Crucial
Sheepskin is a delicate, natural material comprising a leather hide and a wool fleece, requiring specific techniques that differ from standard tailoring. Our expert shearling services address common issues like a stretched fit, a worn lining, or a damaged zip with methods that protect the integrity of both the pelt and the wool. We ensure a perfect, comfortable fit that honours the coat’s original craftsmanship and insulating properties.
