A little diary update as we head into autumn 🤎

I currently have some 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 availability remaining throughout 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 and am also taking advance bookings in 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 for the following services:

• 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐤𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤

I do have some planned time away during October, so my working diary will be a little more limited than usual that month. If you already know you have something you’d like booking in during October, you’re very welcome to reserve a slot in advance so I can plan work around my time away.

As always, services are available via postal order throughout the UK, with local drop-off available for repairs and adjustments, as well as call-outs across the North West for bespoke bridle measuring.

If you have something you’d like booking in, or would simply like to enquire about a repair or adjustment, please feel free to send the page a message with a few photos and details and I’ll be happy to advise.

Thank you as always for keeping me busy and continuing to support AB Leather 🤎 Abby x

ASMR | Celeris Riding Boot Zip Replacement 🪡

A little behind-the-scenes look at replacing a worn zip in this beautiful Celeris riding boot — completely by hand, stitch by stitch. 🤎

The original zip was carefully removed before fitting and hand-stitching the replacement, helping to give the boot a new lease of life while keeping the finish as neat as possible.

🎧 Sound on for the full ASMR experience!

Please note: the elastic gussets visible in these boots were previously fitted elsewhere and are not the work of AB Leather.

Love your Fairfax & Favor boots but struggling with the fit through the calf or ankle? You don’t necessarily need a new pair! 🤎

At AB Leather, I offer specialist width alterations across all popular Fairfax & Favor boot models, helping to achieve a neater, more comfortable fit while keeping the original look of your boots.

✂️ WIDTH TAILORING – TAKING IN
Depending on the original construction of the boot, I can tailor by approximately:
• Up to 4cm at the top & calf
• 2–3cm through the lower calf
• 1–2cm around the higher ankle

Perfect for boots that gape at the top or feel too generous through the leg.

↔️ WIDTH INCREASE – ELASTIC GUSSET INPUT
For boots that are too snug, discreet elastic gussets can be added to increase the width and provide additional stretch and comfort, carefully incorporated into the existing design.

Available across all popular Fairfax & Favor boot models.

💷 £120–£130 per pair, depending on the boot model and the amount of adjustment required.

Each pair is individually assessed and altered by hand to achieve the best possible finish.

📦 Postal service available throughout the UK
📩 Message AB Leather with your boot model and the alteration required for more information or to book in.

A few examples of repairs from the AB Leather workbench 🪡

From worn stitching and damaged leather to more involved structural repairs, many well-loved pieces of tack can be repaired rather than replaced.

Each repair is completed by hand, with the aim of keeping as much of the original item as possible whilst restoring its strength and extending its working life.

Small signs of wear can quickly develop into a much bigger repair, so if you’ve noticed loose stitching, cracking, damage or something simply doesn’t look quite right, it’s always worth having it checked sooner rather than later.
