No. 05 — Alterations & Patches

Uniform Alterations & Patch Sewing

Hemming, fitting and patch sewing done in-house — often while you wait — so your uniform fits right and looks regulation without the long wait.

Same-day tailoring, done right here

A uniform that’s too long, too loose or missing its patches isn’t ready for duty. Our in-house sewing station fixes that fast. Customers regularly mention our same-day tailoring and the fact that we’ll sew patches on while they wait — no dropping it off for a week, no mailing it away.

Buy your uniform here and we’ll fit and finish it in the same visit. Already have your uniform? Bring it in — we handle alterations and patch work on uniforms bought elsewhere, too.

Bring your patches with you. Most single patches and name tapes can be done during your visit. For a department-wide batch, call ahead and we’ll schedule it.

Placement matters

A crooked patch or a name tape in the wrong spot is the first thing an inspector notices. Bring your department or company guidelines and we’ll place every patch, chevron and tape exactly where it belongs. If you don’t have written guidelines, we’ll work to the common standard for your type of uniform.

Need a whole team patched? Our group orders service handles patching for departments and security companies in one batch.
