Vinyl Jacket repair

£50

Ancoats, Greater Manchester

24th Jun 2024

Hi, ive been at this for months trying to find someone willing to repair, my apologies if already messaged. My cat has clawed and holed my brand new not cheap pvc /vinyl adidas jacket at the back and the arm and I'm desperate to get it fixed without pieces taken out inside or stitching but I am having no luck finding anyone willing to repair it, being pvc not real leather. If you are equipped with vinyl/faux leather repair, filler kits, I could send it off via post or bring it tp you if near manchester city centre. It's a few small puncture holes and a couple light scratches on a black faux leather jacket. Small job, I know but I can't seem to find any leather garment repair companies willing which I've found a bit ridiculous with all the repai kits with tutorials I've found stating that it can fix vinyl aswell to do it but I do not trust myself to do it with a kit without making a mess of it. There is 4 tiny punture holes on the back and arm and 2 scratches on the back. Can send additional info and images if able to take on. Many Thanks, Lucia Hughes

What does a tailor do?

This service covers tailoring, clothing alterations, and sometimes even repair for different kinds of garments. This includes men’s suits, women’s coats, trousers, wedding dresses, and even down jackets. In the case of made-to-measure and bespoke tailoring, your wardrobe will show off your personality and fit your lifestyle in a way that off-the-rack can’t match.

And when booking a clothes tailor near you through our platform, you get some great added perks, such as picking a reviewed and rated tailor in your area, having a tailor go to your home or office, and working within your budget! Do note that some details may vary depending on the tailor you hire, so make sure that your task post is as detailed as possible. 

Alteration tailor near you

Whether you need stitching near you or any alteration, Taskers can do most tailoring work and alter a garment to fit you better. If you plan to get an off-the-rack item and take it to clothing alterations near you, it’s best to choose a size that fits the widest point of your body. From there, your local tailor will take in or cinch the rest of the item. Tailors can also make sleeves or pant legs slimmer, adjust the straps and bust darts of a dress, shorten the sleeves of a shirt, add the lining, and add buttons or hook-and-eye clasps. 

On the other hand, a tailor cannot make a garment bigger or longer. They also can’t fix a bad shoulder fit on a jacket or coat. Also, it is inadvisable to let out the stitches in fabrics like linen, cotton, and silk, since holes will show. 

Clothing repair by local tailors near you

Most local tailors near you can also repair clothing. This can mean fixing a zipper, stopping a hem from fraying, repairing a rip, or reweaving a hole. When you book a clothing tailor near you to repair your item, they’ll tell you if the item can still be repaired, and what the risks (and cost) of the repair would be. They can also offer advice on how to better care for your clothing or avoid further damage, such as using a mesh bag in the laundry for your more delicate items or getting your clothes dry-cleaned instead.

Made-to-measure and bespoke tailoring

Looking for a suit tailor near you to help with formal wear adjustments? Tailoring or altering your off-the-rack garment is a fast and affordable way to make clothes fit you better. But if you want your wardrobe to fit you to a T, made-to-measure or bespoke tailoring is the way to go. While these services are offered at tailor shops near you, Airtasker lets you book a bespoke tailor who can go to your home or office, bring the Savile Row experience to you.

No need to worry about going to a tailor shop near you - your Tasker brings the supplies, takes your measurements and requests (or in the case of made-to-measure, lets you choose a pattern), and assists you with the fittings! This service saves time while still making sure you look stunning at that upcoming event - skilled Taskers can help you with planning for the big day as well!

Hi, sadly my cat has clawed and holed my brand new expensive pvc leather adidas jacket at the back and thw arm and i was looking at an approximate cost on getting it fixed, I don't pieces taken out inside or visible stitching as it would ruin the jacket, is this possible? After visiting a couple locally who originally falsified that they could do it via email, I think the pvc fabric would need to be replaced even though the holes are small. Regards Lucia Hughes

Sewing together garments for my final collection at university.

£35

Manchester, Greater Manchester

11th Dec 2023

The collection has a lot of denim, zip pockets, pleating etc. designs will change over the next month but I will need help from Mid January till March time, not continuous, just as and when I need help. I will give you several days ahead of time for when I need them done and I will supply pre-cut fabric pattern pieces, zips, buttons etc. with designs and flats to help guide the sewing. I am a uni student so can only pay around £30-40 per garment (depending on size and difficulty). However, for younger people this is a great opportunity to practice your skills. for adults it could be a fun side hobby! If fabrics I supply you with are ripped or stained or damaged during the process I will have to deduct the amount it costs to replace it from how much I can pay you. - Due date: Before Saturday, 30 March 2024
