Just an reminder to The Fedora Lounge community. Insurrection does leather repair, alteration, and restoration. In fact, Insurrection is the only shop the United States to be approved by BOTH Vanson and Pilot USA for race suit repair, alteration, and restoration. Furthermore, Aero of Scotland routinely sends us their hardware for zipper repairs and snap fixture. Forgot to order leather lined cuffs on your halfbelt? Don't buy a new one, just have us line the cuffs in leather and alter the liner accordingly. Need a vintage jacket relined, no problem...we'll match the liner and sew your original tag onto it!
In short, we're the best there is when it comes to repairs, alterations, and restoration! We've restored more vintage jackets than ANYONE in the United States, and we know how to do it properly. We can work with any weight of leather, any age of leather, and do a repair job that follows the original construction of the jacket stitch-hole-for-stitch-hole.
Here's a good example of a jacket that's very common, a 1970s Schott cafe' racer. This jacket was brought to us stiff as a board, dry and cracking, road rash throughout, tears throughout the liner, every zipper falling apart, and tagless. We hide rejuvenated the jacket 5 times over, replaced the liner, re-colored the road rash, replaced all zippers with NOS Talons. Had we had a 1970s Schott tag laying around, we would have put that in too. Check it out!
