BYSON LEATHER carry out repairs and alterations to clothing
of all kinds, specializing in motorcycle gear (both leather and textile).

In fact we can tackle anything from a ball gown to a horse blanket. Though not at the same time :-)

For ordinary (fashion / street) clothing we have a web site here

We can repair classic & reproduction flying kit for instance. (See "About leathers" below). Equestrian and other sporting apparel (including waxed cotton) can also be repaired or altered.

We have a (limited) stock of genuine wartime hides for the repair of RAF (Irvin) flying jackets / flight suits.

We can provide custom artwork on leathers and also custom work on jacket linings etc. You can provide your own artwork, or we can work with you to achieve your own individual look. Examples on the "Our work" page.
For repairs we can work by post or courier.
For complex alterations we are probably going to need your body. We have found that no amount of home measurement is as good and if this is the ONLY way you can go, we can't guarantee anything. For complicated alterations, more than one visit may be needed to attain the best result. Coffee and biscuits are free :-)

Pricing policy:Several of our customers have suggested that our policy of quoting "maximum" prices on our price lists could be loosing us custom. We believe that our policy is fairer than quoting "from" prices, and most work comes in under the list price (see customer comments). For the foreseeable future we will stick with this policy, but thanks for the feedback guys. Its nice to know you care. :-)

(Please note that if clothing is brought in in a dirty state - and a wet gravel trap will do that - we will HAVE to clean it to protect our equipment and other customer's property and we will charge accordingly.)

We are situated in Hertfordshire, UK, between Royston and Ware, and close to the Silver Ball Cafe, a well-known biker meeting place on the A10.
Our customers are situated anywhere between The Isle of Lewis and Winchester.

We can't promise that garments waterproofed with a membrane will be waterproof after repair or alteration, but we will do our best. Which is pretty good. And whilst we can't ensure exact colour matching where panels need replacing, we make every effort to achieve as close a match as possible. We can't guarantee miracles, but we will have a shot at the impossible :-)
See our customer comments page for a "feel" for our service.

Hours of business: 09:00 to 17:30 Mon to Friday. 09:00 to 16:00 Saturday.
Other times by appointment.


WHAT DON'T WE DO ?
We aren't boot makers, so though we can usually fix boot legs (for instance zips etc.), for serious boot work, we recommend talking to a boot maker.
And we don't make leathers. But if you want something classic and black, or you want to discuss having custom gloves made, give us a call.
