Patches on Down & Insulated Jackets
Displayed here are some examples of patches we've done on down and synthetic jackets. Please note we don't always have exact color matches for fabrics. We do have the ability to add more down to a baffle on a jacket as part of a patching repair.
Pricing for down repairs is pretty wide ranging depending on how in-depth the repair is. For example having a single baffle recovered on a sleeve can start at $30 and our shop rate is $60 per hour plus materials. Send us a message with details about your specific problem and let's see if we can help you out.

| Option A: For $50 we will cut out the old zipper and overlay a new zipper onto the face of the jacket. We don't open any seams for this option. | $50.00 |
| Option B: For $65 to $160 (depending on jacket construction) we will open all seams to remove the old zipper. Then we sew in a new zipper. It will look similar to the original construction. | $75.00 – $160.00 |

General Apparel & Outerwear
We work on a wide variety of apparel including items for ski & snowboarding, technical climbing. We also see a good amount of casual lifestyle apparel including jeans, flannels, shorts, hats, etc.!
Below are some frequent repairs and alterations we see come through our shop. If you don't see what you're looking for, please contact us, and we can discuss your specific needs.
Slider Replacement on Jackets
If the teeth of a zipper are in good condition, a full replacement may not be what's needed. Often, what is causing a zipper to fail is just the little mechanism you pull to open and close the zipper teeth, which we call a zipper slider. Replacing this piece is a quicker repair than a full zipper replacement and usually runs around $15
Zipper Replacement on Jackets
We replace and repair zippers on jackets, pants and shorts; waterproof shells, down hoodies, fleece layers, cargo shorts, etc. Price varies with the construction of the item.
We do not use water tight zippers. They tend to fail much faster than traditional coil or molded tooth zippers made by YKK.
Depending on how your jacket is constructed, we have a few zipper replacement options for you.
| Option A: For $50 we will cut out the old zipper and overlay a new zipper onto the face of the jacket. We don't open any seams for this option. | $50.00 |
| Option B For $100 to $160 (depending on jacket construction) we will open all seams and undo seam tape to remove the old zipper. Then we sew in a new zipper with new seam tape on the inside. It will look similar to the original construction, except we don't use water resistant zippers. | $75.00 – $160.00 |
Below are some examples of main zipper replacements.
