A letterman sweater holds memories, not just warmth. If it's damaged or doesn't fit anymore, don't throw it out. Knitwear Doctor specializes in restoring meaningful knitwear, bringing your favorite pieces back to life.
Whether you need to repair holes on letterman sweaters, shorten a sweater, or adjust the sleeves, we’ll help you keep the memories alive.
The following are six ways we keep your letterman sweaters looking original:
We Repair by Hand
Our team uses special manual reknitting to fix holes. We find yarn from your own sweater or use matching yarn to make the repair blend in. The repair won’t stand out.
We Respect the Original Look
Older sweaters often use yarns and colors that are hard to find today. We know how to match these to keep your sweater looking the same.
We Do More Than Fix Holes
If your sweater feels too long or the sleeves are too big, we can shorten the sleeves on sweaters or shorten the sweater itself. We keep all the original edges, so it still looks like the same sweater.
Perfect Fit, Same Style
If your letterman sweater no longer fits, we can resize it. We’ll keep all the important parts, like patches, buttons, and trim, looking just as they did.
We Handle Pet and Moth Damage
Moths and pets are common causes of damage. Our team is trained to repair all types of holes, tears, or snags caused by them.
Repairs You Can’t Even See
Our goal is to make every repair blend in so well, you won’t even notice it was there. You’ll never notice where the damage was. Your sweater will look like new, but still feel like your old favorite.
We Also Repair Afghans and Family Blankets
If you have afghans or blankets made by your mom or grandma, and they’ve been damaged by pets or moths, we can help.
Many of these handmade items mean a lot to families. Don’t worry, if the damage has been done, we can easily repair afghans. We take special care to repair and protect them, so you can keep them for years to come.
Need to Repair and Shorten St. John Knits?
St. John Knits are known for their high quality and classic look. If your knit is too long or damaged, we can repair and shorten St. John Knits carefully.
We keep the clean, original look while making it fit just right. Whether it’s a snag, a loose thread, or sleeves that need adjusting, we’ll handle it with skill.
