ASMR | Celeris Riding Boot Zip Replacement ๐Ÿชก

A little behind-the-scenes look at replacing a worn zip in this beautiful Celeris riding boot โ€” completely by hand, stitch by stitch. ๐ŸคŽ

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.

๐ŸŽง 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 donโ€™t necessarily need a new pair! ๐ŸคŽ

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.

โœ‚๏ธ WIDTH TAILORING โ€“ TAKING IN
Depending on the original construction of the boot, I can tailor by approximately:
โ€ข Up to 4cm at the top & calf
โ€ข 2โ€“3cm through the lower calf
โ€ข 1โ€“2cm around the higher ankle

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

โ†”๏ธ WIDTH INCREASE โ€“ 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.

๐Ÿ’ท ยฃ120โ€“ยฃ130 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.

๐Ÿ“ฆ Postal service available throughout the UK
๐Ÿ“ฉ 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 ๐Ÿชก

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 youโ€™ve noticed loose stitching, cracking, damage or something simply doesnโ€™t look quite right, itโ€™s always worth having it checked sooner rather than later.

A great option for riding boots that are just a little too snug through the calf โ€” without compromising their original look.

These dressage-style, front-zipped boots have had elastic spine gussets professionally added to the rear of each boot, providing extra room and flexibility through the calf whilst keeping the adjustment neat and discreet.

๐Ÿชก Completely hand stitched
๐Ÿ‘ข Suitable for front-zipped and other compatible tall riding boots
๐Ÿ“ Made to the individual measurements supplied
๐Ÿ’ท ยฃ130 per pair

The before & afters show just how seamlessly the gussets can be incorporated into both black and brown boots.

Boots can be posted to AB Leather from anywhere in the UK.

For enquiries or to book your boots in, please send me a message with photos of the boots and Iโ€™ll be happy to advise.
