Second Life

If you’ve had a jacket for 5, 10, 20 years (or even longer!) it can be difficult to give it up.

When your item hits the end of its life and just can’t be resurrected, that’s where ‘Second Life’ comes in to play.

You can either send your items back to us and our team will make your requested items (click here to see the products available) – or you can use our guides below to try your hand at making something yourself!
