It's the bomb, man!

Just wanted to let you know, I received my two Orvis Leather bomber jackets to day. All I can say is what a stunning job! The jackets look better that new, the leather finish is beautiful. Thanks for doing such a professional job. The new knit cuffs are a perfect match.

Keeping the Kilt

I received my 2 items back from you yesterday after repair and I am absolutely astonished! You had said we might be able to see the repair on the jacket lapel but we can't find it anywhere!! The kilt repair is incredible as well.

12-year old Jacket... Nearly New!

Last week I received the leather jacket that I had sent to you for repairs and cleaning. I would like to express my appreciation for the outstanding job you did. The jacket is 12 years old, but looks almost as good as it did when I bought it. I am grateful for the work you did. Thank you very much.

"Wow" Sums it up!

I received my cashmere coat back and I had to scrutinize it 3 times before I could see where you repaired it. As I said "wow" my wife -- who's a sewing master (mistress?) said "let me see" and took the coat and stared intensely at the repaired spots and responded with "wow"... "wow" sums it up -- thanks!

Sayonara Sliced Sleeve

The work you did on my jacket was spectacular! The left sleeve was sliced up by a box cutter. You replaced two panels with leather perfectly matching the rest of the jacket. Phenomal work and one hugely happy customer. THANK YOU!

Absolutely wonderful job on my wool suit! Just cannot find any trace of the repaired moth-holes. I've given your name to my cleaners and they are recommending you to other customers. No one here in mid-Michigan can do this kind of work!

"You are truly artisans..."

Hi, just to let you know that my suit arrived today. I must tell you how pleased I am with the outcome. You are truly artisans and take great care to make sure that all is perfect. Thank you for all the extra effort in what was surely a difficult repair.
Very truly yours,

"Simply Unbelievable Work - A Work of Art!"

Fantastic, unbelievable work. I ruined the trousers of one of my expensive $2,000 Armani suits when I sat on a chair that had a protruding screw at the back. My wife was so upset because it happened to be the suit I was wearing when we got married and I was absolutely certain that it was ruined forever. You repaired my trousers and when I saw them I had to check the tag and everything to make sure it was the same pants because I couldn't tell where the damage was if it wasn't for the red thread you had put on to show me where the repair was done. Simply unbelievable work - a work of art.
Many thanks. Nikos T

Cleaning & Repair Repeat

Today, I am sending my husband's leather bomber jacket for cleaning. Two years ago we sent you a leather jacket (thru Brooks Brothers) for repair and cleaning and you did a wonderful job. I am not sure if this jacket will require the color to be restored. In any event, please contact me with an estimate. Thank you very much.

Favorite Jacket Saved!

Thanks for saving my favorite jacket. Just received it. Great job.

Relining Like New

Just wanted to drop a line to say I am very satisfied with the relining of my leather bomber jacket! It's like new! My guy was really surprised that such a quality job could be done. Thank you!
Sincerely, Laura P.

Great Job!

Thank you very much. Received it this morning. What a great job! I will recommend Without A Trace Weavers to anyone!

Second Time Around

You had repaired a suit for my husband and it looks wonderful! I am wondering what the cost would be to fix 4 sweaters each with about an inch hole along the seam.
Thank you for your time.

16 of 16 said if it was theirs' Without A Trace would be FIRST on their list...

I will get these mailed out to you 11/16. zippers are included. there are 5. the 40 inch go on the legs. the longer of the 3 goes on the fly. the 2 remaining go on the side entry. I would like the best you can give for what you have to work with. I have been asking around on the net about you and found 16 of 16 said if it was theirs' you would be FIRST on their list for cleaning and repairs. So there you have it. Thank you very much.

Can You Shrink the Fur?

I had you re-weave a sweater for me and the workmanship was excellant. I need a fur jacket that my mother-in-law left me when she died altered. I believe it is in excellent condition, however much too large for me. Do you do that type of alteration?
Rita S.

ˇBravo! ˇBravo!

The jacket was at my doorstep and it is fantastic! You guys are amazing! Bravo. Wonderful job,

Leather Coat Lining Better Than Imagined

Dear Without A Trace,
I'd like to take a moment and thank you for the phenomenal work done on my leather jacket. I received it in the mail last Thursday and I still can't get over how wonderful it looks! The new lining is even better than I ever imagined it being. It's seamless! Kudos!
Thank you again for the amazing work!

Tuxedo Tears

I sent my husband's tuxedo for repair last week. I have since spoken with Linda on the phone about the repair work. She has been a delight, and very helpful!!!!! I appreciate her judgment and honesty. She is an asset to your business!!!

Please tell Linda that, although my husband has great sentimental attachment to the tuxedo, he concurs with the decision to donate it to Good Will.

Thank you for your assistance!!!! Without a Trace has been wonderful!! I will definitely send other repair work to you in the future.

Suede Jacket Jealously

I just received the suede jacket that you cleaned for me. I am very grateful for your service. The jacket was ruined when I sent it to you, now it looks like new. I have been telling everyone what a super job that you did and have referred a couple of my friends to you.
Again thanks you so much.

Windowpane Blue Suit Sees the Light Again

WOW. I have very nice blue suit with a large light blue windowpane check that had an unfortunate accident with a nail directly above the left lapel. The kiss of death tore across not just the open box but across the light blue thread of the check. I assumed the suit was a lost cause and I had to throw it out. I couldn’t though and left the suit on a hanger for years before I found out about you guys, right in my own "back yard" in fact!

All the dry cleaner/tailors and tailors said its all for naught. But you really did a miracle, even on the phone you said it would still show a slight trace, but you lied. Lied through your teeth. There was no mark at all no proof a tear had ever been there in the first place. A major tailor in new York now want your number because he was so impressed with your work. G-d bless you!

SJ Knits are Loved Again

Dear Michael,
I'm astounded by the wonderful job on my much loved SJ knits - one of those holes was an absolute beast and it's barely noticeable now.
Thanks to all of you for the stellar work!

Armani Suit Shoulders a Dry Cleaners Damage

Got the Armani suit back and could not believe what we saw. Suit shoulder which had been badly damaged by a dry cleaner in Baltimore was unbelievable. During phone call prior to repair we were warned by your representative a seam would have to hold the reweave, which was very honorable. We approved the repair and now we are astounded! The reweave is flawless and the seam holding the weave is noticeable only with a spotlight! We are going to call all the tailors and drycleaners who have been waiting for these results! Hanover, PA will finally have a solution to the dying talent of reweaving!
One other comment.....your price was ridiculous! You could have put a 1,2,3, or 4 in front of the price we paid and it still would have been a fair price!
Oh, and (your) representatives act like family members!
Thank you!

The Dogs Destroyed this Leather Jacket... Without a Trace Came to the Rescue

I just received my repaired leather jacket and it's BEAUTIFUL!!
Thank you for repairing the sleeve and lining, after the dogs chewed it up. The conditioning you did makes it look like new. It hasn't looked that good in years. I am very pleased with the quality of your workmanship, and I thank you so very much!

Wary Husband Has New View Of Repaired Garment

The jacket and vest arrived today and I'm completely thrilled. Even my husband, who thought the whole project was totally insane, thinks the vest liner is gorgeous and the workmanship superior. I know whoever did this had quite a challenge working with two such "distressed" garments, but they did a fabulous job and it looks just wonderful on. Have I used enough superlatives here?

I am so impressed with the vest liner that zips out of the jacket, reverses and zips closed. The matching headband completes a perfect look. Everything fits as if custom tailored in person. I am so grateful to everyone there who made this possible for me. I may not be the only person in the world who has such a beautiful sable-lined jean jacket, but I feel like it, and that's all that counts!

Can't wait for the ice storms forecast next week...

Warmest wishes!
Liz

Wool Slacks Take No Slack

You repaired wool slacks for me in the past and did a great job. I have a leather jacket with a couple of tears. I am not expecting it to be repaired "like new" but i hate to just throw it away. Is there anything to do for a tear??

No Bones About This Herringbone Suit

Dear Friends, I just wanted to let you know that the work that you did reweaving moth damage on my olive-green herringbone suit was magnificent! If not for the (removeable) threads that you used to mark the sites, I wouldn't have been able to find the old damage. Thanks, as well, for getting the suit back to me well before the requested date!
Kind regards,
Brian S.

Nasty Stickers Unstuck

Dear Linda & Without A Trace
I wanted to write and thank you for the work done on my leather jacket. You can't even tell where the name sticker made the awful mark. I'm so thankful I found you on the internet. You gave me back an expensive jacket that I thought I'd never be able to wear again.
Sincerely, Mary Ann G.

No More Tears

Hi Michael,
I want to thank you for doing such a wonderful job on the repair of my husband's leather jacket. We cannot tell that it had been torn. No one in our area would even try to mend the coat so I will let people know the good work you do.
Thanks Again, Donna & David D.

Puppy Chews Christmas Gift Sweater

Just a quick note to thank you for the really exceptional job done recently for me. I had sent you a cashmere sweater with a hole. The sweater had been a Christmas gift and had not yet been worn when our boxer puppy dragged it out from under the tree and chewed on it a bit. The repair is virtually invisible and I couldn't be more pleased.

Sentimental Sweater Saved

Hello!
Could you please forward a big "thank you" to Linda who fixed my vintage blue cardigan sweater. The sweater has sentimental value (previously belonging to a family member). It now looks great. Thanks so much,

Thanks again. Jim R.


Invisible Repair to Man's Pants

Dear Linda,
I just received the slacks today. I am just amazed! I would never have found the repair without you marking it. It is beautiful. Thank you so much. I just hated to think that my husband's suit was ruined because of the tear in the pants. Your work is truly amazing.
Thank you so much. Have a wonderful holiday. Nancy C.

No More Burns

I just received my pants back from you and I want to take this opportunity to express my thanks on the great job you did. I received the small burn hole in these pants the first time I wore this suit and was devastated. Talking with a number of Tailors in Milwaukee resulted in recommending your company. I couldn't be more satisfied. To tell you the truth if you hadn't placed the red thread around the patch I never would have found it again. Thank you again!
Frederick B.

No Trash For These Trousers

Hello. Thank you for your response. They were just a little slow in notifying me of the arrival of the pants. Having looked them over, I must tell you I am SO IMPRESSED!! You have done an amazing job, and have saved a favorite suit from the trash heap. I just can't believe anybody can do what you've done for me. The job you did is certainly worth the $100 you charged.
David S.


Suprise - No More Rip!

I just received my boyfriend's suede jacket in the mail today! It looks wonderful! With that huge rip in the under-arm, I thought we would just have to throw it away. The new patch you found to match the jacket is perfect, and the way you sewed it in looks as if it was originally made that way. I can't wait to surprise him with it - he only wore it twice before the 'incident', so it will be like getting a new jacket all over again!
Many thanks!
Suzanne W.


Moth Madness Managed

Hi, I just wanted to thank Without-A-Trace for the great job you did repairing moth damage to my Armani camel overcoat a few weeks ago. I thought it was finished, and WAT brought it back! I know how damaged it was, and even I have to look very carefully in strong light to be able to detect where the trouble spots were. You've repaired other things for me in the past (rips on two different expensive men's suits) and you came through again! You guys do great work at a fair price. I'll continue to use you and will refer others.
Thank you, thank you!!
Chris G.

More To Come

Hi Linda - Well,I was planning on sending these out months ago,but due to various circumstances, I just sent out a package with about 6 or 7 garments for your reweave services. One garment in particular,an Oxxford Cashmere overcoat is heavily nibbled and may not be worth the investment. My favorite green and gray herringbone tweed sportcoat is in there with a number of small nibbles and a big munch on the lower part. Then there are some trousers. Please email with your assessment of reweaving costs and which will respond the best to your services. Thanks so much in advance, Linda- you did a fabulous job on a couple of my suits 2 years ago. Hope these can be resurrected through your talents.
Thanks!
Mike K.

Suit Coat Suprise

I just received my repaired garment back from you folks. All I can say is WOW! What a fantastic job. The repair to my suit coat is absolutely invisible. I also appreciated the advice to strongly consider not doing the repair on my other jacket. You guys are fast, incredibly talented and reasonably priced. I'm so glad I found your business. I'd been using a reweaver here in San Diego, who was slow, overpriced and not that good. Never again. I also wanted to let you know how pleasant you are to deal with on the telephone. You are a real credit to your company. It's so amazing to me that I can do business with a company all the way across the country with less hassle and faster turnaround time than a local shop. Kudos!
Thanks again for the great service.
Steve M.

We have used your services several times and have marveled at the restoration of sweaters we thought were too damaged to repair. They look like new!
Thank you for your fine work.
Sandra and Kip W.

Orange Wool Coat Warm For Winter

Hi Without A Trace! I just want to thank you for the fantastic job you did repairing my orange wool coat - job number XXXXXXXX. It looks incredible! My husband and I were staring at it in disbelief - no one would ever know that it had been munched on by evil moths. I had almost given up hope that I'd figure out how to have it fixed, and I feel so lucky that I found your site.

We are so impressed that we will definitely recommend your service to anyone we know who needs a garment repair.

Thank you for saving my favorite coat! I'm looking forward to wearing it again this winter.

Sincerely,
BethAnn R.



Black Cableknit Sweater Dress Dances Again

I have just received my black cardigan and my black cableknit sweater dress back from you. This work is absolutely beautiful! I am completely dazzled with the results, and the "cherry on top" is the speed with which you do this magic! You have made a client for life!
Sincerely,
Cheryl S.



I'm Spreading The News

I cannot tell you how pleased I am with your service. I have told my dry cleaners and my personal alterations about your service, and am giving them your phone number, as they have not been able to perform what you've been able to do for me to many many customers who have clothes that they love but are ruined. Thank you so much for saving these one of a kind items. I will use your services again I'm sure.
A most satisfied customer,
Loyd K.



Pass It On

You did a great job on my black leather jacket. It turned out better than I could ever have hoped. I will be sure to pass your name on to anyone who needs leather repairs.
