    Broken
    Chris T.

    I purchased an expensive Nomad black shell cordovan strap for my Watch and the clasp adhesive + weak stitching broke within two days of wear. Nomad, hardly known for its stellar customer service, ignored my countless emails and attempts to contact them for warranty work, so I turned to Richard for help. Richard was able to save the strap and reinforce the poor OEM stitched clasp, and I could not be happier to have it back. While it was gone, Nomad finally reached out and sent me a replacement strap that also broke within a few days' wear, but at least I have one that I trust thanks to Richard! In the future, I will be coming to RIchard first for leather work. Thank you again!

    Resized holster belt looks brand new.

    Richard did a great job on our leather chair cushion, I would definitely recommend using him for leather repair or any other leather job.

    Very happy with the work Richard did for me - a small alteration to my dog's leather collar - while I waited. Very reasonable pricing.

    Hello, how much to buff and clean a small crossbody bag? Mine has scratch marks on the front and looks dull.

    We have 2 Wassily sling chairs where the color has faded and worn. Is there a leather dye we could use to refresh the black color? We don't want to use something like shoe polish which would run off in people's clothing. Thanks!

    Hi, I have a Leather Ottoman, black, with a tear in it on the top. Do you fix this type of thing?

    I forget the gentleman's name, but he's real real old school. Been there for years, I believe…read moresince the 60s. Not necessarily that specific spot, but along a two block stretch of Georgia Street. This is my first time using a tailor. And honestly, after checking out other Yelp reviews for other tailors, I might give him a 3.5 instead. He more or less does exactly what you ask, within reason. I've brought extra large buttoned shirts there that I needed to be altered. He cut the sides and the sleeves - for $6! The only thing is I didn't tell him to shorten the length of the shirts, so my bad on that. I've taken pants into him and hes done a great job on adjusting the waistband. However there were a few issues regarding hems. One I didn't tell him I wanted the original hem on my jeans, nor did I ask if he could do it. So that's my faus pax. And then I also don't know where to measure the length of a pants leg. So before measuring it myself, I told him 29". When I remeasured it after the alteration it looked like 28, but I don't know how to measure pants. Nevertheless, they were short. I think if I were explicit and more hands on he'd be totally legit. But as I'm new to this and pretty even keel about everything, I haven't gotten exactly what I want. So why the high score? This guy was going to go into surgery to remove a tumor two days after I brought in the last two pairs of pants I had altered, and he got them done in 3 hours. Plus I'm nostalgic for Vallejo's old past, and if you talk to the guy, he can tell you some stories.

From the very beginning, he was super upfront, honest, and transparent about everything, which I really appreciated. Wedding planning can already feel overwhelming, so having someone I could fully trust made such a difference. You can tell right away that he's incredibly skilled and truly knows what he's doing -- the fit turned out absolutely perfect. One thing I especially loved was how helpful he was with my bustle. I had no idea what direction to go in, and he took the time to walk me through different options and explain what would work best. His recommendation ended up being exactly what I needed -- both practical and beautiful. Beyond the actual work, his support throughout the whole process honestly took a huge weight off my shoulders. I always felt taken care of and knew I was in good hands. So so grateful I found him -- thank you again, Mo!

I've given this place multiple chances, hoping things would improve, but each interaction has been disappointing. The woman who answers the phone and works the front desk (I'm not sure if it's the same person) has consistently been rude, curt, and lacking basic customer service skills. It makes the entire experience uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Additionally, despite advertising leather cleaning services, they refused to take in a leather item, which was frustrating and confusing.

When I was shocked by the price (2 1/2 times the estimate), the owner told me that it was my fault for not specially asking for an exact quote and going off the front lady's estimate. Personally, I would request a quote in writing. See the picture for the response the owner personally messaged me on Yelp after I posted the above paragraph. (She also yelled at me on the phone.) It's their job to give accurate and transparent pricing.
