Leather is a material that is living and it is a testament of longevity and classic style that transforms in a distinctive way with who wears it. But its composure, grains, and hardness are such as to render it by far the most difficult to be cut or worked by a tailor. Another error in a thread, or a single cut, is not merely an error; it is a permanent scar. These valuable garments are safe in our studio and we provide them with the best leather modification. We work on special equipment, years of experience, and respect to the material changing your jacket, coat, or trousers with an impeccable, unseen accuracy.
We begin by the rigorous consultation of establishing the truthful expectations. When we check the production of a garment, we examine its seam allowances, what is already sewed in, and what can be done. There is no use letting out a seam because old stitch holes are permanent. We will provide clear and straightforward evaluation and elaborate course of action when changes are best implemented as reductions. Measurably shortening sleeves and legs, tapering the body and limbs to the modern appearance, and bringing in the waistbands or side seams to fit you personally are our most demanded services.
Our special can be seen in the way we do the work, unlike ordinary tailoring. There are special tools we have: industrial walking-foot machines, which stitch the upper and bottom layers of leather together to prevent puckering, diamond-sharp needles, which leave no trace of tearing the hide, and clamps and weights, which hold the pieces in place without leaving any trace. All cuts are premeditated and all stitches are permanent and this demands ultimate accuracy in the initial measure to the final press.
We also know that a leather garment is a system. To change the outside shell, i.e, to take off and put on the lining again, is a laborious business which we carry on just as you do with the leather itself. The end product revitalises shape and capacity. It provides the comfort of a leather item that fits your body like a bespoke garment and enhances its traditional appearance in addition to rejuvenating daily use. Sending your leather off with us is an investment in preserving a tradition, in having a favourite that will be with you as long as you have a storey to tell, with a comfort and confidence never seen before.
