Your Shoes Tell People A Lot About You, Shouldn't Your Shoes SHINE!!

Can you tell which one has been shined?

This customer is a contractor who goes from job-site to job-site.  He knows the importance of looking good and selling jobs.  He brings his shoes in often so he can put his best foot forward in the business world.  How about you?  As you can see, it can make a BIG difference.  Also thanks for being my first customer to use our new KLENZ sanitizinig service.

We Can Change Eyelets to Boot Hooks



This customer wanted some eyelets changed to boots hooks to be able to lace them up faster.




Here you see the eyelets we replaced with boot hooks.

We can also change boot hooks to eyelets if you don't like the hooks.  There is also another kind of hook called a stud.  The opening will not get smashed down and pinch the laces.  Those of you who wear this style of boot know what I'm talking about.

Can You Sew Patches onto Vests?

We can sew your patches onto your vests, jackets, hats, bags, etc.  From small patches like the one in the picture to the very large ones that go on the back.  Bring yours in today.

Patches

I thought I would mention a service that I have done quite a bit of in the past week. Sewing patches on to vests, coats, hats, and bags. I don't mean repairing tears, I mean Harley Davidson Eagles, Marine Corp, soccer tournament, sports team, logo, etc. Patches to decorate and commemorate a club or event you were a part of. Many people are happy when they find out we can do this for them.

Unusual Items I have repaired in the last few days

Sometimes I repair some unusual things:

1. Lawn Chair
2. 20 lb Medicine Ball
3. Christmas Shoes that had Santa Claus visible inside a clear heelbase
4. Some over-shoes for a Santa Claus Costume
5. Large orange ostrich Duney Burke purse
6. 8 Dog leases that have been chewed in half


These are a few things I can think of off the top of my head that customers usually don't know we can do.

1. Belts -punch holes, Shorten
2. Purses -shorten straps, punch holes, rivet straps, zippers, magnetic snaps, etc
3. Luggage- zippers, bottom studs, wheels, etc
4. Lower ladies high heels - if they are too high (there is a limit to how much you can lower)
5. Golf Bags -rivet the bottom back on, zippers
6. Back Packs - torn straps, plastic hardware, zippers

TIME TO GET YOUR LEATHER JACKET OUT OF THE CLOSET

AHHHHH! October in Florida means cooler weather. It's the time of year I really look forward to after a long summer. It's also the time to start pulling the winter clothes out of the attic and putting your leather jacket to good use.
Did you know we clean, repair, and alter leather garments? We send this work out to Leather-Rich, in my opinion one of the best leather cleaners and repairers on the planet. Look at this list of repairs we have had done in the last few months:
1. Main Zipper Replacement
2. A customer had a jacket that the sleeves were too long. We had the sleeves shortened.
3. Repaired a torn pocket that got caught on a door knob.
4. A customer caught his soft leather coat on a nail that made an L-shaped tear on the back. It was repaired to almost perfection.
5. This most recent repair was amazing. This customer borrowed a leather jacket from her friend to go motorcycle riding. She laid the jacket across the bike and the sleeve rested against the hot exhaust. Before she realized what happened it had melted, leaving a nasty burn mark. Imagine what your skin would look like if it had rested against a glowing hot exhaust! This was a lined jacket. Leather-rich replaced the sleeve and lining and the jacket came back looking as if nothing ever happened. I have to admit I was impressed.
If you have any leather garments that you love but haven't been wearing because of a stain, damage, or broken zipper, bring it in or mail it to us and let us give you an estimate. Many times the investment is much less than purchasing a new one.
