Dena did an amazing job with my vintage motorcycle jacket. It was scratched, dry leather with some stitching problems here and there. I just got it back and it looks incredible. The leather is soft and just the right amount of black color was added to cover the scratches but still allow the jacket to maintain its vintage look. I'm embarrassed to say that I neglected this jacket during the decades that I have owned it but I'll definitely take good care of it now.

Dena and crew restored my sad 25 year-old horsehide A2 jacket to as-new condition. The hide had some deep scratches and the lining was torn and frayed along the edges. She replaced the lining (not an easy task) and the scratches were perfectly spot-dyed; so well that they are invisible. I am so fortunate to have found LCS! Bruce in Fresno

I just received my 25 year old A2 leather jacket back from Leather Care Specialists today. Being 25 years old this jacket was pretty rough with plenty of scuffs, and worn out looking cuffs and waistband. It also had a broken inside snap, and a zipper that needed to be replaced. I really was thinking about replacing this jacket, but like many people my jacket and I have been through a lot. Anyway I found Leather Care Specialist with a Google search, and even though it is a small business and many states away I decided to take a chance and mailed off my beloved leather jacket. Within a day of it arriving I was contacted by Dena who gave me the run down of her recommendations, and my options. We decided to go with a total leather recondition, and a zipper replacement. She also said she could fix the broken snap, and rather then replacing the cuffs simply clean them up. Several weeks later and I have my jacket back. I am still shocked as it looks like it is brand new! Also the new zipper works great, as well as the snap is fixed perfectly. And all this for a very reasonable price. Dena is absolutley amazing and truly knows her craft! I am very happy, and 100% satisfied. I will most certainly be recommending Leather Care Specialist to anyone who needs leather jacket repairs or restoration.Thanks Dena!Isaac Braun

Dena,I received my jacket today. To say that I am impressed would be an understatement!! It is absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for doing such a wonderful job restoring the leather. The new lining is great, too! I'm quite sure it will be lots warmer that the raggedy old lining. I can't wait to be able to wear it. I'm sure I will enjoy it for many years to come!!Thank you again!Ken Ragan

Dena restored my favorite jacket - a two-tone leather one that is 28 years old and bore all the fading and dryness commensurate with that age and the thousands of miles I traveled in it - many of them on a motorcycle where it was exposed to the elements. Her work is phenomenal. She gave the old garment a new life and restored the deep-color look. I never thought it would look this good again. Many thanks, Dena!

Dena exceeded my expectations! She notified me via text the day she received my coat and kept me informed throughout with texts on the progress. When I opened the box- I was wowed at how great it looks. Great job!

My favorite Leather jacket was in decent shape except for the liner. It needed to be cleaned and conditioned and and a new liner. Dena did a great job and she was done pretty quickly too!She was even able to add the inside pocket back for me. I'm very happy with the work.

Exceeds expectations!I am very particular about quality work, prompt service and good communication. Dena surpassed expectations in all areas and the returned/finished product is of superb quality. I anticipate I will be able to pass on this leather jacket for multiple more generations thanks to the fine work. I have more leather that needs work and I know without a parcel of doubt that I will be sending the items to her when the time arrives.

Dena, Firstly THANK YOU SO MUCH! My precious G-1, slightly tattered after 3 decades of wear, has been miraculously transformed. New Lining, new cuffs and obviously a lot of love and care have brought my old friend back to life, frankly in better condition than when I bought it. Wonderful stitching, wonderful workmanship, I am truly amazed you could do this much. Thank you to all the guys at Leather Care Specialists, your work is immensely appreciated!!

Leather care specialist led by leather artisan DENA is the best place to go for restoration and repair of all leather jackets and coats. My 15 year old jacket needed new zipper, liner (body, pockets and sleeves), new collar, repair of worn areas, leather treatment, and color upgrade from faded and old looking too (see photo) NOT NEW OFF THE RACK look but a CASUAL WORN look, which I requested. Jacket looks a little worn as requested but zipper, lining, snap buttons, and leather are all set to go for another 15 years with option to upgrade color at anytime.Thank you DENA for raising an old friend from the dead. ??????

I've been using this leather shop for about 10 years, Mainly for patches on jackets and vests. But also jacket repairs and a pair of leather chaps extended out and leather inseam added to. Dena has great knowledge in leather care and repair, always quick to help and very reasonably priced. I would recommend to anyone!
