What we can help with
Sleeves and cuffs
Shorten sleeves or assess lengthening while accounting for buttons, vents and lining. Working buttonholes can limit where a sleeve can be shortened.
Body fit and jacket length
Discuss taking in or letting out the body and changing overall length. Pockets, vents and seam allowance affect which changes are practical.
Shoulders, collars and lapels
These areas shape the jacket and can involve substantial work. We assess the construction and explain the options before you decide.
Relining and repairs
Ask about damaged lining, broken zips, missing buttons and worn fabric. Repairs can help extend the life of a jacket you still enjoy wearing.
How much does it cost?
Lining, shoulder structure, buttonholes, vents and the number of seams involved affect the price.
We assess the item and explain the price before you leave it with us. If you are comparing options, bring the garment in for a quote based on the actual work required.
Your questions
Can every jacket be resized?
No. Structure, seam allowance and pocket placement set limits. We will explain what is realistic for your jacket.
Do you alter leather jackets?
Bring the jacket in for a material and construction assessment. Our leather and suede page explains the considerations.
How long will the work take?
Timing depends on the item, work involved and current workload. Tell us your deadline when you enquire; the shop will confirm availability and any express surcharge before you proceed.
