US Based Historical Tailoring

Locally based in San Antonio Texas, I provide historical tailoring specializing in World War 1 and 2 US and German Uniforms; and work on vintage/antique typewriters.

Experience

I have worked with historical and current uniforms since 2018, ranging from German WWII tunics and insignia to doing alterations on the uniforms of active-duty military. As well experience in hand alterations and embroidery.

Typewriter Repair

I make a variety of hand made insignia ranging from hand embroidered bullion wire, to “in theater” patches.

Custom insignia

I have been fixing typewriters since 2020, and have experience in a variety of makes and models.
