Byson

Byson fitted a new zip to my sheepskin flying jacket. A first rate job all round. I can recommend them.

Repaired a WW2 Irvin jacket that had seen better days, bad glue repairs and rips mostly. Also offered advice on the best up keep for it, including cheapest place to buy suitable leather care. Very happy with the service and would recommend to anyone with old and/or delicate leather in need of tlc.

We presented my late father in laws raf jacket to John and his wife. We always thought it was a flying jacket but Byson advised us it was in fact a motorcycle dispatch riders jacket (which is quite correct as that was his job). We truly believed in our hearts that it was beyond repair, however it now has new life ! All zips relaced, new cuffs, belts, collar, seams blinded, and the bottom of the jacket completely redone with original materials. Time and care was given and an exceptional result. Would highly recommend this company to anyone. Honest reliable and totally trustworthy at all times.

A thoroughly professional and knowledgable firm. Very attentive and responsive to customers' needs. My father's WW2 flying jacket needed some specialist attention and that is exactly what it got. Entirely satisfied.

Byson patched holes in the elbow of my Irvin Flying Jacket. The patch was well matched and the job done within a few days - I am very happy with the work and the service.

I sent my leather Irvin jacket to Bison to repair a damaged cuff and colour a few scratches, the result was a top professional finish with helpful service.

Excellent service and staff were very friendly and my jacket was repaired in extra quick time. Really pleased with the repair.

New fly zip fitted to pair of leather motorcycling trousers. Very good standard of workmanship at a reasonable price. I have used before and would have no hesitation using again.

It took a while to get it all done, but the work was outstanding so it was definitely worth the wait. I had new cuffs and waistband on an A2 Jacket fitted, the work was expertly done and made to last!

My leather racing 2 piece suit needed a whole host of things done to it to make it fit properly. John answered my questions and guided me all the way through. End result, I received my suit back and it fit great. FYI, I needed the thigh opened out, a substantial amount taken away above the knee, the waist brought in and the zip of the jacket to be made to fit again. Very pleased with the end result. WOould highly recommend Byson. Quality establishment. Just note, because they are so good. It takes 6 weeks to get your stuff back…regardless of how nicely you ask/beg. SO plan accordingly. 1st rate leather alterations. Use with confidence.Moreexpand_more

I had cuffs and waistbands replaced on an Eastman Leather G1 jacket. Byson leather came highly recommended from a friend who had used them in the past, and that recommendation is fully warranted. Not cheap, but i'd rather pay a little for a decent job to be done. I've since recommended them to others. A great job done.

I had two leather jackets repaired, one a WW2 Flying Jacket and one a 1960s motorcycle jacket. In both cases the jackets had family sentimental value. The work was good quality, done in a sensible time and for a fair price. It was also a pleasure to meet the couple who did the work.

Very pleased with the work done on my motorcycle leather salopettes. They were "gapping" around the chest and the shoulder straps kept falling off. All sorted without fuss or bother. I would recommend these people and will use again - soon - to affix a zip to a textile jacket to connect to said salopettes!

I took my bike jacket (textile) to Byson to have the main zip replaced. They did a fantastic job, you wouldn't know it was a replacement and I think it's a better zip than the original. They also re-proofed the jacket while they had it and that is *certainly* better than original. Just rode home in absolutely torrential rain tonight (several months later) and my top half was bone dry! Must get them to do my trousers, legs weren't so happy…!

Always very accommodating with my repairs mainly to my leathers, but have repaired a gazebo and snowboard boots too.

I bought a G1 jacket from ebay that had very sorry cuffs and a stretched waistband, my contacts with Byson were very good, I was able to deliver my jacket to discuss the work required. I had to rely on good old Royal Mail to deliver once the work had been completed. The delivery was prompt(overnight) Very pleased with the standard of the work and the costs were good, everyones jacket is treated individually so prices may vary. Will certainly use them if needed in the future and would recommend this company to anyone with a "dodgy" leather. Thanks and well done Byson. Dave.

Went to visit them to get a new zip for my flying jacket as it had been languishing in the wardrobe for quite a few years due to the high quotes for repair. We discussed different makes of zip and I went with his recommendation. The job was completed in good time despite their being very busy. Once more I went up to collect even though a mail service is available. The quality of workmanship and care that went into my repair was exemplary. I would certainly recommend Byson to take care of your kit.

Byson replaced zips on a Hein Gericke textile jacket for me. They did a good job at a reasonable price. I shall use them again if I need a repair in the future.

A top quality job completed by lovely people.

Quick turn around and quality of work was to a good standard have used them twice for ww2 flying jackets.
