R&W Has Closed In Collette's Vintage Mall

| No Comments

IMPORTANT NOTICE! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING!

Sadly, our business in Collette's Vintage Mall, in Burton, Michigan, has come to a close, effective December 31, 2022. The building has been sold and we are searching for another place to setup our leather and sewing shop.

Until we find a new location we will each be working from our homes. Dan, who lives in Montrose, Michigan, will be making fitted holsters, knife/axe sheathes, pouches, cases and bridle leather belts. He also does hand carved logos on belts and buckles for biker clubs in the area. Wiz, who lives in Flint, Michigan, will continue sewing patches for biker clubs and independent riders and sewing name and number patches onto leather jackets and racing pants. He also does zipper replacements, hemming and repairs to jackets and purses, hat blocking/cleaning, boot stretching, and hand tooled belts and straps. You can contact us individually for custom leather work, sewing and repairs via our contact form. We will reply as as soon as possible.

Even though our brick and mortar location is closed, you are welcome to ship your leathers to us for sewing, repairs, or for use as a pattern for a custom leather job. We have had many people ship us their vests, jackets, chaps and old holsters for sewing, repairs or modifications. We will give you our addresses in private replies to inquiries sent via the contact form.

While our search continues and speaking personally as Wiz, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of our customers who supported our small business for the last 10 years. My sewing machines have literally put food on the table and paid my bills. I grew up as the Son of a tailor and never imagined that I would become one too. It's good honest work.

If you haven't already done so, please read our main web pages, at www.rw-leatherworks.com to familiarize yourself with all the different types of work we have been doing and hope to continue doing. We hope to see you again real soon!
