Custom Products

"You did an amazing job on my pack [custom side zipper]" — Gene!

"I wanted to let you know that the [custom photobag] pouch has been perfect" — Jack

Alpine Threadworks does custom sewing and designing. This means that I will design and make a one-off product to your exact specifications and requirements.

Making a one-off custom design requires a great deal of design time. This design time needs to be made back in just one sale. This means that custom work comes at a relatively high price.

Ordering a custom product goes as follows:

  1. Contact me at (403) 282-7030 or neil@alpinethreadworks.com and set-up an appointment at my shop to tell me what you want made. (some projects can be arranged over e-mail or phone, but a face-to-face meeting is preferable)
  2. I give you a quote. This quote is based on $30/hour + materials.
  3. If you like the quote you put down a 50% non-refundable deposit.
  4. I make your custom product.

Please note: I do not make clothing.
