stands apart from all the rest.

linings, zippers, shorten/lengthen sleeves, change and match damaged
skins exactly, snaps, buttons, cuffs, waistbands.

Sometimes the line between alterations and damage repair is a fine
one. The inner lining of many leather coats will end up wearing away
before the leather actually does, and we receive many requests make such repairs. We can also lengthen or shorten sleeves, or even monogram your
jacket. For suedes, furs and leathers; tapering, replacing skins and
resizing garments are very common repairs.
Alterations
When it comes to altering expensive
leather or suede jackets and coats, Accent On Leather can work magic. The unique
qualities of leather make it an ideal candidate for alteration, because
you must take into account the natural stretching and aging that it
will endure. The nature of your alteration will vary, depending on the
type of leather and the area of modification.
When we change the
dimensions of your leather jacket, we do not rush. Most work that is
performed is done by hand, because we have greater control
over the workability of the garment. We realize that some alterations
require a greater level of attention than others. Because we work in
leather, we use heavier stitches that hold up to the kind of stress to
which an outer layer of clothing is subjected.
Oftentimes, we are asked to alter a leather garment in addition to
cleaning services. If your leather jacket needs to be cleaned, consider our alteration services. A good leather or suede jacket is
something that is treasured for many, many years. Let's face it:
sometimes our body shapes change faster than our favorite leather
coats. Don't throw it away, simply let us alter it to your liking.

Leather & Suede Care Tips |
 Storing Your Leather or Suede
The best place to store your leather is a dark closet that is neither too humid
or too dry. Do not store suede or leather in plastic. If they are stored in plastic, in a warm environment, water can condense inside the plastic and mildew your leather. Once leather gets mildewed, it usually cannot be saved. This can also make the buttons, chains, etc. rust. Always hang leather garments on wide or padded hangers to maintain the jackets shape.
After you pull your leathers out of the closet, feel the skin. If it feels dry, it probably needs conditioned by Accent On Leather. Allow wet or damp leather to air-dry naturally away from any heat source.
Conditioning Leather or Suede
How many times a year should you condition your leathers?
If you ride a lot in hot sunny conditions, or get caught in the rain, you will
need to condition it several times during the season. You can usually tell when
your jacket or chaps feel dry. Incidentally, rain will really dry out leathers
because when the rain evaporates from the jacket, it pulls moisture away from
the skin
We have the experience to clean, refinish and gloss
your fine leather & suede items keeping them looking and functioning like new!
