It needed a full replacement of the main zipper along with a few minor repairs. These folks are consummate professionals who clearly respect both materials and workmanship. The quality of the work is exceptional--you would never know any repair had been done. They restored the bag to its original splendor, carefully cleaning the leather and canvas while preserving the wonderful patina that only time and use can create. It's refreshing to find true craftspeople who take this level of pride in their work. I couldn't be more pleased with the result and highly recommend them for any of the services they offer.

Other repair shops had turned down the risk. The bag is perfect now. A few days ago they threaded, unthreaded and rethreaded shoelaces to help me secure a pair that is just right for my On Clouds. And then the guy did me ANOTHER favor which I won't identify because I don't want to inadvertently encourage anyone to take advantage of them. I'd used them back in the day for heel replacements. Always a terrific job.

Because the rubber and the leather were both still intact, he was able to reattach them. A relatively simple job, but one that required the skills and materials of a Master Shoe and Boot Cobbler. I love L.L.Bean, but they only offer the *possibility* of repairing Bean boots and it would take anywhere from 3-8 weeks to get them back. George looked my boots over and assessed the repair in under ten minutes (while I stood at his counter in stocking feet!) I appreciate and respect his policy that "custom work requires custom pricing." In other words, don't hesitate to ask for an estimate so that you're not surprised! George won't be unkind or embarrass you if you decide you need to consider the cost of a repair. I dropped one star only because I called twice to ask if my boots were done.

Anyway, after scouring her special 'shoe closet' I had to build to contain her hobby I located them. Making a command decision on my own I went to this cobbler in Ct since our very very local one has retired. I was EXTREMELY surprised at the work done. They came back polished and all the tiny nics on the heel leather had been fixed as best as possible but they look as good as new. They were both done without me asking and for the price of $15.00 I feel well worth it. Definitely have found a new cobbler !!!

Jorge used to work for Raymour & Flanagan for 14 years and seemed to know exactly what he was doing from the start.
