Some
examples of our work... |
|
|
We have put a zip in the back of this top at the customer's request. |
|
We have a
Vivienne Westwood dress that someone has "had a go at". We will
be following its progress as we mount a rescue operation. Our thanks to
the owner for allowing us to use pictures of it. Click on the image to go

Badly worn
jeans can be given a new lease of life. This operation is also exceedingly
effective on riding britches. |
|
|
|
Lady's shoe.
The post stud fasteners are a little big for the width of the strap and
tend to split it. Never the less, the customer likes the shoe and wanted
an alternative... |
|
|
|
Not a fantastic
picture, but the worn pocket at top has been rebound and freshened at bottom. |
|
|
|
Same (USAAF
Officer's trousers) garment. The front pocket has been repaired with original
details incorporated into the new bag. |
|
|
|
The waistband has been rebuilt after letting out by 3"
|
|
|
|
Lady's glove.
Split finger seam repaired. It makes our life SOOO much easier if you bring
things to us when they start to fail rather than keep wearing them. |
|
|
|
Gentleman's
overcoat relined in black & red Chinese silk. |
|
|
|
Medals mounted on medal board. |
|
|
|
Party boots with very small foot (R) and
tiny calf altered for a more normal leg (L). |
|
|
|
Driza-Bone jacket with badly worn lining
under the collar. |
|
|
A customer has recently asked
me why there are so many fewer examples on this page than on our leather
work site. The answer is simply that the difference between "before"
and "after" is harder to photograph (as I am not a photographer)
and a really good repair on a fabric garment is, as it should be, almost
invisible. |
