Winter Gear & Canvas Repair for Telluride

Ski bags, duffels, and canvas — sewn repair for Telluride, from a shop in Delta.

Telluride runs on two seasons, and both are hard on gear. Winter means ski and board bags thrown in and out of trucks and airport carousels, and boot bags zipped past what they were built for. Summer brings the hikers, climbers, river trips, and festival weekends, and the outfitters keep going into the fall hunting season. The shop is in Delta, about an hour and forty-five minutes away by way of Montrose and Dallas Divide, and everything that comes in is sewn by one person on an industrial machine.

§ The Work

What I repair for Telluride customers

Winter gear

  • Ski & Snowboard Bag Repair

    Torn bag bodies, blown seams, ripped handles and shoulder straps, and the end panels that wear through first from dragging.

  • Boot Bags & Duffels

    Split zippers, torn end panels, and handles pulled loose by a bag packed heavier than it was built for.

  • Zipper Replacement

    New zippers on ski bags, duffels, and boot bags, sized for the load the bag actually carries.

  • Straps & Webbing

    Carry straps, compression straps, ski straps, and buckles re-sewn or replaced.

Year-round

  • Wall Tents & Tipis

    Matched canvas patches, zippers, stove jacks, and window flaps for hunting camps and summer basecamps.

  • Raft & River Gear

    Raft frame bags, dry bags, and straps for river season on the San Miguel and beyond.

  • UTV & Snowmobile Seats

    Torn and cracked seats re-covered on side-by-sides for summer roads and snowmobiles for winter.

I don’t tune skis or repair bases and edges — for that, see a Telluride ski shop. If it’s sewn, bring it here.

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. For before-and-after photos from real Telluride and Western Slope repairs, see the portfolio.

§ The Shop

I'm Ryan. I run the shop. Every stitch comes through me.

I run Western Slope Stitchworks out of Delta. I've been sewing for years, working on everything from outfitter canvas to UTV seats 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.

§ Local Focus

Built for the way Telluride uses the outdoors

In a two-season town, timing is half the job. Ski and board bags and boot bags are easiest to get done in the spring off-season once the lifts stop turning, so they’re back long before the next winter. Wall tents and river gear fit best into the fall shoulder season. If something fails the week of a trip, text a photo anyway. Rush work is available, and I’ll tell you honestly whether it can turn around in time.
