REPAIR LEATHER JACKET TEARS:
Surface Tears - $5.00 & up
These are snags and scrapes that do not go all the way through the leather. Touch up dye where needed.Free & Clear Tears - $15.00 & up (the average 2” tear is $25)
These are tears in an open section of a leather jacket. They are not close to seams, stitching of any kind, buttons, or snaps.They go all the way through the leather so there is an actual hole (but all the leather is there). The lining must be opened in order to repair the area and add reinforcement from the underside.Tears in the sleeves will always run a couple dollars more than those in the body areas.
Tears Plus - $25 & up
Leather Jacket Pocket Tears
These are tears at the coat pockets, belt loops, or the tear goes into one or more seams. Extra labor is required to take apart areas that will need to be re-sewn. Another cost factor is when a piece of the leather missing.Leather Jacket Pocket Tears
Whenever there is one pocket that needs care, after repair, both corners of both pockets will be reinforced from the inside. Slit pockets run about $8-10 more, total, than flap pockets.Leather Jacket Panel Replacement
Panels that have no pockets and are at the bottom of the jacket or sleeves are the best candidates for replacement. Panels that are sewn into the sleeve hole, collar, or have pockets will be labor intensive and probably not feasible.Quick leather jacket panel replacement is limited at this point in time. We are building a general stock of the most common leathers; however, there are many shades of every color, and differences in weights and finishes. If we do not have a match for your leather jacket or coat, an alternative would be to mail a sample piece of your garment (taken from somewhere on the inside) to one or more leather tanneries or outlets in the attempt to find a good match. This would take some time, and the cost of finding a 'matching' piece of leather will raise the cost of the leather panel replacement. We will contact you after we find a matching piece of leather to give you an estimate of the repair."
Some leathers will mend almost invisibly.
Some leathers will show a fine line when repaired.
