cleaning and repair

Jackets and pants you've worn for years.

Sweat seeps into it and it stinks, mold has grown, the zipper is not working properly...

There may be some people who are worried about this.

This time, we received cleaning and repair for another company's jacket.

I would like to introduce this as an example.

*Currently, we are no longer accepting repairs for other companies' products. Click here for more information.

Regarding the jacket I received, the color is dark green overall.

It was a cowhide down jacket with padding.

Customer concerns

・I've been wearing it for over 10 years, so I want to clean it once again.

・Stains in some places (probably caused by food, etc.)

・Darkness and stickiness on the inside of the collar

・The color on the back has faded due to sun exposure, so I think it would be better to recolor it...

・The front zip has deteriorated.


Regarding stains and dirt, even if you send it for cleaning,

It doesn't mean you can drop it 100%.

It depends on what caused the stain and the color of the leather.

It may be improved by focusing on cleaning the areas of particular concern.

Next is discoloration due to sunburn, but colored items are particularly susceptible to the effects of sunburn and the environment.

Fading and discoloration that occurs over the years of wear is unavoidable.

There is also the option of recoloring, but since paint is sprayed onto the leather, the texture and texture can be changed.

There is also a risk that things will change significantly.

In addition, areas that come in contact with the skin often darken due to the effects of sebum, etc.

I have no choice but to accept it as a taste.

Stickiness is often caused by applying too much oil due to careful care.

Regarding recoloring, in the case of this jacket, if you look at it as it changes over time.

I didn't recommend it because it changed the color quite nicely.

Finally, there is the deterioration of the front zip. After all, it is the place where it is used the most and it places a heavy load on it.

This is the most common part of jacket repair.

The zip was still working, but the insertion part was beginning to tear.

I would like to suggest that you replace it at this time.

You can choose the thickness (strength) of the zip, the design of the pull part, the color, etc.

By creating something close to the original design or a completely different design or specification.

It is also possible to completely change the atmosphere.
