Repairing a leatherette jacket collar: bring your favorite piece back to life
A quality jacket is a wardrobe essential. But what to do when the leatherette collar begins to crumble and deteriorate? Rather than replacing it, repair is the durable and aesthetic alternative. Thanks to the expertise of TILLI craftsmen, your jacket is restored to its original appearance, with an impeccable finish.
Why repair a damaged jacket collar?
Imitation leather, while very attractive, tends to wear out over time. Humidity, heat or simply natural wear and tear can cause it to crack and peel, giving your jacket a tired look. But this doesn't have to be the case: it's entirely possible to replace this part of the garment and give it a second lease of life.
How to repair and replace a damaged jacket collar?
Our craftsmen begin by carefully removing the worn collar without damaging the garment's structure. Once this step has been completed, they select a quality imitation leather to match the material and shade of the original jacket. At this stage, it's possible to choose a contrasting color that's totally different from the original! Here, our customer preferred green leather to black.
Cutting and assembly are carried out with millimetric precision to ensure that the new collar fits perfectly.
The stitching is done with a strong, discreet thread for a finish that imitates the original to perfection. The result? A like-new jacket, with no visible trace of the repair.
