What Happens After You Place a Custom Leather Order?
I often hear the same question from customers: “What actually happens after I place a custom leather order?” It’s a fair question. Custom gear feels personal, and you want to know exactly how your jacket or suit comes to life.
The order process is not instant. It’s careful, detailed, and human. Every step exists for one reason—to make sure your leather gear fits right, lasts long, and protects you properly.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through every stage, from order confirmation to final delivery, so you can place your order with total confidence.

Step 1: Order Confirmation & Review
Once you place your order, the process begins immediately. Your order is reviewed by a real team—not an automated system.
We check:
- Product selection
- Customization options
- Size or made-to-measure choice
- Special requests or notes
If anything looks unclear, we contact you before moving forward. This step prevents mistakes later.




Step 2: Measurements & Fit Details
For made-to-order leather, fit is everything.
If you chose standard sizing, we still review your height and weight. If you selected made-to-measure, we request detailed body measurements.
Why This Step Matters
- Ensures correct armor placement
- Prevents tight or loose areas
- Improves comfort and movement
Every measurement is double-checked before production begins.
Step 3: Design Finalization & Mockups
Once measurements are confirmed, we move into design.
This includes:
- Color placement
- Logos or embroidery
- Panel layout
- Perforation zones
For complex designs, a digital mockup may be shared for approval. Nothing moves forward without your confirmation.
This step ensures the final product matches exactly what you envisioned.




Step 4: Material Selection
Now your order reaches the production floor.
We select materials based on your order:
- Full-grain or top-grain leather
- Stretch panels
- CE-approved armor
- Thread and reinforcements
Only leather that meets thickness, strength, and flexibility standards is used.
Step 5: Pattern Creation
This is where custom truly begins.
Your measurements are used to create a unique pattern. This pattern is different from standard sizing templates.
Pattern Creation Ensures
- Accurate body shape matching
- Correct riding posture fit
- Balanced panel tension
Once finalized, the pattern moves to cutting.
Step 6: Leather Cutting
Leather cutting is done by skilled craftsmen.
Each panel is cut carefully to maintain grain direction and strength. No shortcuts. No mass cutting.
Panels are labeled and grouped for your specific order to avoid mix-ups.




Step 7: Stitching & Assembly
This is the most time-intensive step.
Panels are stitched together using reinforced techniques:
- Triple stitching in stress zones
- Double stitching elsewhere
- Secure armor pockets
Stretch panels and liners are added at this stage.
Every seam is checked before moving forward.
Step 8: Quality Control
Before shipping, your gear goes through quality control.
What We Check
- Measurements against order specs
- Stitching strength
- Armor placement
- Zippers, closures, and finish
If something doesn’t meet standards, it goes back for correction.
This step protects you and your investment.
Step 9: Packing & Shipping
Once approved, your gear is carefully packed.
We ensure:
- Proper folding to avoid creases
- Protective packaging
- Accurate shipping labels
You receive tracking details as soon as your order ships.
Your custom leather piece is now on its way.
Conclusion: Custom Takes Time—For a Reason
The is detailed because it needs to be. Every step adds accuracy, safety, and durability.
When you receive your gear, it’s not just a product. It’s the result of skilled work, careful checks, and personal attention.
Start your custom leather order with confidence, knowing exactly what happens behind the scenes.
