Gun slip, sporting equipment case and leather cover repairs
Repair enquiries for empty gun slips, sporting cases and protective covers: handles, straps, zips, seams and linings, assessed for construction and condition.
A leather gun slip, instrument cover or sporting equipment case protects an item that may be difficult to replace. The repair brief starts with the empty case: its leather or textile body, lining, closure and carrying points. The studio welcomes enquiries about damaged seams, worn handles, loose straps and suitable zip repairs.
Explain the dimensions and normal use without bringing the contents. An outer seam repair, replacement lining and carrying attachment are separate jobs, with different access and material requirements. Original markings or the appearance of an older leather cover can be considered when agreeing the approach.
Work to discuss
- Suitable gun slip and soft equipment case seam or edge repairs.
- Assessment of carrying handles, straps, tabs and attachment areas.
- Accessible zip, slider, fastening and lining repair enquiries.
- Material-appropriate leather cleaning, conditioning and restoration.
What the studio assesses
- The condition of the material surrounding carrying and closure points.
- Interior access, padding and the compatibility of replacement fittings.
- Whether the case has any manufacturer requirements or specialist protective features.
Prepare a useful brief.
- Bring cases empty: no firearms, ammunition, knives or other contents.
- Photograph the complete empty case, the lining and the damaged component.
- Keep detached fittings and explain any dimensions or original features to retain.
Contact the studio before posting technical, large or fragile items. We agree the approach, price and timing after assessment.
