I went to get my coat repaired because I'd ripped it right under the armpit. The lady was really nice and explained that there would still be a seam showing because of where the rip was and how bit it was. Walking into the store I already knew that there was no way there wasn't going to be a seam showing but I appreciated that she tried to make me aware of it also.
I felt I paid a very good price and they fixed the rip. They fixed the rip and it's clean and professional looking. They didn't even have to sew through the lining to do the invisible fix.
