I had my 2 piece leather suit made bigger. The quality of the work and overall appearance of the suit was excellent. I would reccommend Byson to anyone!

Emma Whittaker 27 July 2010

I had some leather jeans altered at the bottom - the work was outstanding - you can't tell they've been altered.

Karen Brown 27 July 2010

Had some patches put on a waistcoat, their were some on it already, they were all removed, lining restored and put back on. First class job, great friendly service, very quick turnaround, well done, will certainley use again, many thanks

Phil Mann 15 May 2010

Julian Guest, 20 April 2010

Very fast turn around for my leather repairs, many thanks John, they came today (and look lovely)

RGB, Dorset 8 April 2010

There is not a lot to say about Byson, great friendly service. I will certainly use them again when needed.

David Mansfield 01 April 2010

Neat and speedy - Had all but given up hope on getting my leather gloves repaired but found Byson in our local listings magazine.Fast, friendly service and extremely neat stiching. Have already recommended their services to a friend. My only comment is that if the cost is going to be more than originally quoted - a call/email first would be preferable than being faced with a higher than expected bill. Other than that great !

Helen G 30 March 2010

Fair comment. In our defense, it seemed silly to repair the thumb and leave the two fingers with holes in when we had the glove apart. We are not talking a lot of money here.

' Wot can I say, an excellent job putting 2 heavy duty zips in my Sidi boots, will sing your praises to all who will need repairs '

I cannot recommend Byson enough. It's enough to find a company who can do what you want at the right price but you get all this plus a wonderful sense of humour as well as courteous efficiency! They repaired my leather flying jacket which I've had since the early 80s. it was in need of quite a lot of repair including replacement of complete sections of fabric as well as patching and re-stitching. It really is better than new now and as I got it back just as this weather closed in I haven't had it off my back since!

Byson undertook two leather repairs for us and produced a new seat cover for a piece of olf furniture - great quality, great value.

Andy H 3 Jan 2010

Byson replaced some defective velcro on a pair of SIDI vertebra motorcycle boots for me. Without the repair they would have been useless for the winter and I would have been looking at £150-200 for a new pair. £8 and a day later the repair was complete. The boots seal properly and the repair is invisible. Brilliant service, incredible work, thanks very much.

Hi folks,

The jacket has been delivered and I am very pleased with the alterations undertaken - you've done an excellent job. I will have no hesitation in recommending you to my friends - the job was carried out very efficiently and I thank you for your fast and friendly service. Best regards to you both - good luck for the future!

Niall Stewart, Isle of Lewis. 13 October 2009

First we had a brand new bike jacket adjusted to fit. The quality of work was so good you would not know it had been modified, have now had more items adjusted and would highly recommend. Very good value for money.

Ellis Rich 20 Sep 2009

I've had two jobs done by Byson, my one piece leathers have had some lettering added (for vanity) and an ill fitting back protector has been adjusted to fit like a glove, great value, service and quality. I wouldn't go anywhere else in future.

Gary Adnit 16 Sept 2009

My zip was replaced and a good job was done quickly and efficiently. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Christopher Gibbons 01 September 2009

These folks are awesome. Took them a hein G jacket that was now way too big thanks to sorting my eating habits out and it came back a perfect fit and you just would never know they took 4 inches out of the back and totally removed the sleeves & lifted them at the shoulders. I also couldn't believe the price these folks are very, very good

Mick Rawson 23 August 2009

I found these very friendly people via my local bike shop in Harlow. I delivered the jacket to them on a thursday , I got a phone call Friday evening saying it was ready. The cost of a new zip and rabbit nibbled short belt... £42 , thats kept my £400 Wolf jacket going for years to come..thanks very much.

John Vogel 18 July 2009

Had a nice lancer style jacket which was erm a bit tight - actually the jacket was fine, it was me that wasn't if you get my drift ! After a friendly chat with John and Gwen about what was possible and showing me other jackets I left it in Gwen's more than capable hands. I collected a much loved friend which had been subtly let out without spoiling the original shape and a bonus, a much better zip and under arm mouse damage repaired - yes mouse damage ! What you get from BYSON is friendliness, a fair price, Gwen's pedigree of high quality workmanship and you could tell John and Gwen get real pleasure in seeing a customer walking out pleased. You wont go wrong with BYSON !

Greald Page 15 July 2009

I needed some patches sewing to my leather waistcoat and BYSON quoted me a very reasonable price. Rather than put the waistcoat in the post I arranged a time and rode over to BYSON where the patches were sewn on there and then - I even got a cuppa while I was waiting! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone else and having seen what they can actually do in the way of repairs or one-offs I'm sure I'll use them again.

Lynne Scotten 11 July 2009

Wonderful service and will recommend highly on race days thanks again nick

Nick Ledingham. 1 July 2009

Hello John , just to say thank you for the repair , you've saved me quite a few pounds , the jacket should last for another 10 years ..cheers ..Jon

Johathan Vogel 21 June 2009

I've had my touring and racing leathers altered by Byson, superb work, reasonable prices & friendly people. Can't recommend highly enough.

Gordon Maxwell 5 May 2009

Exceptional personal service and quality. A rarity to find in this day and age. Would have no problem in recommending to anyone.

Richard Woolener 28 April 2009

This company were a real gem, refreshingly good customer service and helpfulness, a speedy turn-around at my request (quicker than estimated actually), we had a zip replaced in some motorbike trousers and a slight alteration carried out. The service was professional but very friendly. I would definitely recommend them.

Rachel Sarah Martin 12 April 2009

Dear John, The leathers are perfect, better than we hoped for, have had lot's of interest in the paddock and have passed your cards on, if only everyone in motor racing said what they could do and, then actually did it.

Kevin Morgan 8 April 2009

I needed all the zips replaced on my Berring leather jacket, and have a pocket redone. When I got the jacket back, it was if I had gone and bought a new one! Not only had the work I had asked for, been carried out to perfection, but the jacket was cleaned and looked the same as it did when I carried it out of the shop 4 years ago.

Colin Fraser 10 Mar 2009

I asked for a completely bespoke pair of motorcycle pannier liners. There was an exchange of emails discussing requirements and design. The items arrived not long afterwards. The service was friendly, helpful and efficient.

Mike Sasonow 9 Mar 2009

Have just got back from Manila, and it is here, safe and sound Looks like a vintage designer item now , lovely workmanship, with pockets that would hold sand. You’ve transformed a smelly old wreck into something that looks like a new, but professionally “ distressed” jacket. It’s perfect , and I’m very grateful!

Janet Walmsley - 13 Feb 2009

Happy customer!

Peter Willmington - 4 Nov 2008

Cheers Matie, I'll be back soon for the rest of my wardrobe

Antony Vaughan - 4 Nov 2008

I thought the whole level of service was great. The work undertaken was really good and completed very quickly. The charges were also very reasonable and i would certainly recommend to friends and would use again. Two wonderful friendly people who know what they're talking about. Thank you
