Industrial sewing and heavy-duty repair, serving Hotchkiss and the North Fork Valley.
Hotchkiss is the working heart of the North Fork Valley — small ranches, organic farms, vineyards and the food-and-wine economy that's grown up alongside them, and the old-line ranching community that's been there longer than any of it. The valley runs hunting hard in the fall, with deep elk and deer country on either side. Gear here covers a wide range: working ranch canvas, organic-farm structures, hunting wall tents, raft and packraft repair from the Gunnison and North Fork crowd, and the occasional commercial canvas job from a vineyard or restaurant. A 50-minute drive to the shop in Montrose is short enough that fixing it locally beats every alternative.
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.
Hotchkiss gear runs working-ag and hunting-heavy, with a small but distinct food-and-wine commercial canvas thread running through it. Wall tents, ranch tarps, irrigation gear, hunting packs, and the rafts and dry bags of the North Fork river community — all common visitors to the bench. The shop's setup runs heavy canvas, webbing, and vinyl on the same machine, which means a one-trip North Fork drop-off can usually clear a whole pile.
About 50 minutes north into the North Fork.
