Custom Leather Jackets
Shopping for a leather jacket can be a maddening process. First, you need to find one in a style that you like -- checking for zippered or button fasteners, seeing if whether or not it has those really cool buckles or studs you've been looking for, and trying to find one in just the right shade of brown or black. Then you need to find one in your size, not to mention your price range. Imagine wasting hours finding the perfect looking leather jacket only to find that it's two sizes too small or $200 too much. Definitely a pain in the patella.
If only someone could just make a custom leather jacket to your specifications. Wouldn't that be great? These days, its a reality. No, we're not just talking about changing a few bells-and-whistles here and adding some embroidery there. We're talking about 100-percent custom-created leather jackets, according to your specifications. Best of all, thanks to the wonders of the World Wide Web, you can start the process without even leaving your own home!
One company that produces custom leather jackets is Custom Leather, a company whose motto, according to their website, is "If you can think of it, we can make it in leather." The staff of Custom Leather claims to handcraft every jacket they make from start to finish using top-quality cow hide, and advertises that they can make jackets in more than 30 different colors. "Each design is fabricated, then the identical pattern is cut out of the jacket or vest, and the design is sewn in, inlaid-style," states their homepage. "The result is a fabulous looking leather garment that is smooth and supple, with no leather 'patches' sewn on the surface." Logos and custom text can also be added for a fee.
Leathercycle Custom Leather has an alternative approach. Instead of gathering measurements and designing a jacket to verbal or written specifications, they can create an exact copy of an existing favorite coat (or any other type of clothing) in one of over a dozen different types of leather, including ostrich, stingray and even python leather. "Just send in your favorite fitted pants (no spandex), same goes for jackets, coats, or any piece of clothing, leather or fabric," proclaims their website. "Even if you see a jacket, pants, coat, or any piece of clothing that strikes your fancy from a movie, show or magazine. Just call us and tell us about it... We can make it and customize anything into leather!"
So now, thanks to the Internet, you can grab a coffee, do a little web surfing and, with minimal additional effort, get a custom leather jacket made especially for you -- and without all of the hassles of browsing through retailers trying to find a quality product that is attractive, comfortable and affordable. Doesn't sound like too bad of a deal, now does it?
