Our leather garments are both on-trend and made to last. While trends can be creative and stylish, you won't get rid of the your gorgeous leather pieces after one season. We take the current trends, and turn them into something a bit more classic and timeless so you can feel good about wearing them forever.
If you've made the choice to have your jacket tailor made, then all you need to do is send us an email requesting the tailor made spreadsheet, and we will send it to you to easily fill in the details. We will also send you a copy of our "How To" video.
email to: sales@kcleatherco.com
You will need a cloth tape measure to take your measurements as described in our video. Follow step by step and fill in the corresponding sections on the spreadsheet. Once completed, just send the spreadsheet back to us, and we will make the garment to your sizes.
The tailor made process will have your garment deliverred to you in 4 to 6 weeks.

We have sourced the world for the finest choice of 100% real top grain leather and will only supply ethically manufactured hides. From the product page when you click on the "Tailor or Custom made" button You can choose from the following:
Sheep Nappa:
This is the most widely used type of leather in garments. Most of our designs are made using sheep leather. It's soft, strong, subtle and allows for firm fitting designs to hug your body shape well. We use it exclusively for pants, dresses, and skirts. Also for looser fitting designs will hang extremely well and is very light.
Cow:
A thicker hide, and again very strong. A heavier hide and has characteristics that are less subtle or flexible. A solid hide that weighs more, and more suited to jackets rather than skirts, dresses or pants. Thicker, heavier, and has higher temperature barrier characteristics. Can be a preference for a biker jacket if you're actually wanting a sturdier robust skin.
Cow suede:
Same as the cow hide above but finished in the suede look. Essentially as the back of the hide. Rich textures, has elegant strong presence, and when dyed in various coulours presents evenly with bold lines.
Goat:
A halfway between the sheep and the cow leather, yet naturally a stiff finish as a top grain leather. It presents well, follows contours suitably but costs more in the production process due to the rough finish found naturally on this hide. Not a common choice as a finished tanned leather. Some people may request it as a preference.
Goat suede:
Essentially the goat hide, finished inner side suede. Beautiful rustic finish, and will have certain blemishes on it that add to the character. A more expensive process to finish this suede well, and not the smoothest finish.
Buffalo:
Not the most common, and therefore the most expensive hide. This leather is certainly heavy, common for leather bags and shoes. It can be used for leather jackets presenting a solid, heavy finish that will only look its best after several years of wear. But as it forms to your body, and wears in, it is an exceptional looking leather. Again, not used for dresses, skirts or pants.
A note on our sourcing:
If you have a particular type not in our standard range, just let us know and we will do our best to assist in sourcing and pricing it for you. Please note that we will only source ethically farmed leathers and will not assist sourcing any hide farmed or collected in any unethical manner.
We offer a variety of lining options for you: Polyester, Cotton, Silk, Polyester padded, Cotton padded or Silk padded:
We offer quilted and non quilted lining. Quilted or sometimes called padded is for extra thermal qualities. In other words, be much warmer with padding added.
So with lining colour, in order not to confuse you, we have made the following options available:
Best Matching: Leave it to us, and we will use best matching lining as commonly used.
My Choice: You tell us what you want if not on the standard list, and we will do our best to find it for you.
Pattern match per photo: We will do our best to match as close as possible to the photo pattern. With a pattern lining it is difficult to always have what is in the picture available as the photos we took can be from a long time ago.
Also basics like: Black, Red, Brown, Blue.
We offer options for inside pockets as we believe these need to be a choice not only for men's jackets, but also for women's jackets. The options we offer are:
Standard size inner LHS
Standard size inner RHS
Standard size Both Sides
Mobile phone size inner LHS
Mobile phone size inner RHS
Mobile phone size inner both sides
We're always here to assist you if you have any request for more or no pockets. Just let us know and we can work it out.
Some options are no extra charge, whilst others have added cost. Send us an email with your custom choices and we will price it up for you.
