Originally posted by beyondthemeans View PostThere is no way to fix this, unfortunately (correct me if I'm wrong). Get those wide hangers for leather jackets, you can find them on ebay or even at some bigger supermarkets.
1. wider hangers like the ones above. This will help a lot compared to regular hangers, but some heavier jackets or knits might still stretch if there is no grip.
2. anti slip hangers - there are for example ones with a velvety surface, though many of them are thin which is not good. Wider ones such as the suit hangers with an anti slip surface exist, but can be hard to find. then there are plastic ones with some sort of anti-slip surface, some have a coarse texture on the sides or somehing like this. These might not work with everything though.
3. anti-slip tape or strips. there are products like this or you can probably find some universal grip tape etc and get crafty. or put rubber bands on the ends of hangers, or google "diy anti slip hanger".
whatever you do, make sure the hangers are wide though, because even if they don't slip wire hangers or thin wooden / plastic ones can leave notable marks especially on leathers."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.

Thanks for the feedback! Got a whole new lot of wide hangers. It seems the supplied CCP hanger was about an inch short shoulder to shoulder which caused the shoulder seam of the leather to pull from weight of the sleeve/titanium. Hanging it on the wider hanger has removed the puckering and dimples in the sleeve cap but it still remains that the left shoulder seam to neckline is about an half inch longer than the right one. Any ideas of how to shrink it? I've read the thread about washing and drying it but I wonder if anyone has had experience doing it for a certain spot only. Maybe ironing with some muslin over the leather?

I know it may be a bit far but I take all my stuff to Studio Kim's at 766 King Street West.

Thanks!Originally posted by eat meIf you can't see the work past the fucking taped seams , cold dye wash or raw hems - perhaps you shouldn't really be looking at all.

ms. kim is a great lady, and runs a great business, but honestly, i've always been really happy with paul's tailors. it's probably a tad closer to your office as well, and is great for suiting, though awesome at everything else i've had them do as well.
