Industrial sewing and heavy-duty repair, serving Gunnison and the Gunnison Valley.
Gunnison is hunting and fishing country at its best — an agricultural valley, a college town built around Western Colorado University, and the supply hub for one of the most serious outfitter communities in the state. The Taylor and Gunnison Rivers, the East River, and the high lakes off Crested Butte's south end keep fly anglers moving year-round; the surrounding GMUs run elk and deer hunting at a national-draw level every fall. Gear here is functional, beat-up, and worth fixing — that's the working-class outdoor culture of the valley. Outfitters running camp gear, hunters running pack systems, and ranchers running canvas tarps are all part of the same regular rotation through the shop.
Don't see what you've got listed? Ask anyway — if it's stitched, there's a good chance I can fix it. Looking for something not on the standard menu? Custom builds and modifications are available across the Western Slope.
I run Western Slope Stitchworks out of Montrose. I've been sewing for years, working on everything from outfitter canvas to hunting packs to shop upholstery.
I'm a fisherman, a hunter, and a jiu-jitsu guy, so I know what gear gets beat up and how it needs to come back. Fast turnaround, honest pricing, no upsell.
Gunnison gear is hunting and fishing-heavy. Wall tents and outfitter canvas headed for the high country every fall, hunting pack rebuilds — hipbelts, shoulder straps, frame webbing — drift boat covers and bimini work for the Taylor and Gunnison rivers, and the occasional commercial repair from a guide service. The shop's industrial walking-foot machine, set up to handle the heaviest layers, keeps turnaround tight even when a single outfitter drops off ten pieces at once.

Standing next to a torn wall tent, a blown-out hipbelt, or a UTV seat that won't survive another summer? Send me a picture from Gunnison and I'll come back inside 24 hours with a real number and a turnaround date.
