Leather Jacket Stitching Repairs

We assess open underarm, shoulder and sleeve seams for restitching. The important distinction is whether the thread has broken or the leather has torn beside it. Torn leather may need reinforcement rather than stitching alone; more extensive damage may require a replacement panel.

Pricing depends on access to the damaged area and the garment’s construction, including whether we need to open the lining to reach the seam. Send photos of your garment and the damaged area for a quote. We also offer consultations at our Melbourne workshop.

We repair smooth leather and suede jackets, including vintage and motorcycle styles, subject to the condition of the material and seam. We also assess other leather garments, such as trousers, skirts and dresses, individually. We use machine stitching for straight seams and often hand stitch thicker leather.

Not necessarily. We can replace individual lining sections or pocket linings rather than the entire lining. If only a seam has opened, we assess whether restitching is suitable. Deteriorated lining material may need replacement rather than stitching alone; the extent and location of the damage guide our recommendation.

You can visit our Melbourne workshop for a consultation or use our Australia-wide postal service for leather jacket repairs. Send photos of your jacket and the damaged stitching to our team to get started. For other leather garments, ask our team about suitability before posting.
