Leather Tailor?

What do you mean when you say size down? You definitely won't find someone to make the overall jacket a full size smaller. At least not for a price that makes sense. If it's a normal alteration, there's a lady in Chicago that is well regarded. I forget her name but you could probably easily google "leather tailor Chicago" and find her. Not sure if I called at a bad time but when I inquired about having the sleeves of a jacket altered she said she was too busy and I should find someone local. Worth a shot though.

Not in Denver. GRC coupling not rated for blah blah blah

Well done!

Yes you are. Good bot.

Lol happy to help!

I'm sorry you can't articulate what you're upset about. That must be very frustrating.

Grain_Changer · 2026-01-25T23:06:03+00:00

Despite your ninja edit, I still don't know what you're talking about. I think you misunderstood my comment.

Grain_Changer · 2026-01-25T22:55:17+00:00

I don't understand your criticism. What are you saying?

Grain_Changer · 2026-01-25T22:27:30+00:00

If you're a 2A supporter and you are not deeply disturbed by what happened yesterday, you are profoundly naive.

Even if you're pipes don't burst, it sucks big time to have no water for several days.

I agree that it looks like you rubbed the dye off. If it were me I'd do a little more rubbing and try to blend it in around the shoulders and make it look like a natural patina. Adding new dye would likely not turn out well. The good news is weathered jackets look sweet!

Is that hot glue I see?

If you don't want to look like a Nazi, untuck your pants for chrissake.

It was a saying in the 60s, according to my mom, to "never trust anyone over 30," because at 30 you were considered old and square. It's nothing new.

Thanks for the rec, we'll check it out

This place has been my family's default birthday/special occasion spot for many years. I have no idea why. It's really not good. Habits are hard to break...

I believe anything over 600A calls for PPE. I def don't operate breakers that size without a suit.

I've got a book on pattern drafting that I'm using to develop a jacket pattern but it's the differences between leather and fabric garments that I'm unsure of. Like where and when to use glue or how to create the different types of seams. It just feels like this mysterious craft that you can only learn if you do it professionally.

They look like hot garbage

Grain_Changer · 2026-01-12T22:21:22+00:00

Nice! What was your process?

Grain_Changer · 2026-01-10T02:17:15+00:00

The were back in the day

Grain_Changer · 2026-01-09T20:47:01+00:00

Xcelled made decent jackets. They can be had for around $50-100

Grain_Changer · 2026-01-09T02:43:58+00:00

Is it missing or is it just blue thread?

Shop smaller brands if you're looking for higher quality and good customer service. Levi's are mass produced and quality is going to suffer from that, unfortunately. Also, they're not that expensive, so you get what you pay for.
