Refurbish your old jackets & trousers

In these days of the ‘throw away’ culture we are rather proud of our skills in refurbishing worn Paramo & Ventile Jackets and trousers. From £45 we can restore that well loved jacket to almost pristine condition replacing worn zips, refurbishing cuffs, patching tears, patching draw cord channel wear – a common problem in Paramo jackets.

Winter hillwalking and mountaineering  is punishing  on outdoor clothing where typical problems include crampon tears on trousers ankles. We can repair Paramo and ventile trousers easily while tears on trousers made of  laminates such as Goretex, E-Vent and Sympatex require seam-sealing after repair. Seam sealing is highly skilled and requires sealing tapes and machine settings specific for the fabric.  This can be challenging with an unusual laminate or PU coated fabric. There is no room for experimentation on a £150 pair of ripped salopettes!

All we ask is for you to ensure that your garment is clean before sending it.

 Delivery is normally 4 to 6 weeks.
