FAQS

This will depend on the Customs agency of the country being delivered to and whether the value of your order falls under the Tax-free threshold for import duties.
All import taxes and duties are the responsibility of the customer.
For more information please check with your local Customs office.

Many locations, most notably the UK, EU, Canada will charge you Tax and Duty on imported leather goods from Australia.

We are a made-to-order business.
This means we start hand-making your gear once you have placed an order. 

There is a manufacturing time and delivery time estimator on our product pages. These dates are our best estimation. They are not a guarantee.

Manufacturing time. The bit we have some control over.
Our manufacturing times are updated daily. The time will vary depending on the number of outstanding orders and other work commitments. 
If we expect to take longer we will contact you to explain why and offer other options. 

Delivery time. The bit we have no control over.
This is a rough estimate that covers both domestic and international orders.
Australian Express Post may be a bit quicker, and rural international deliveries may take a bit longer.
Once we have shipped your gear, the most accurate delivery date will be available from the courier. 
If your parcel has not been delivered by the expected date, contact both us and the courier in your area to lodge an inquiry.

If you need your gear before a particular date, "Leave a note with your order" on the Cart page or e-mail us the details and we will try our best.

We close our workshop for the month of July every year. That means that all orders placed around this time of year will take longer than usual. For the best estimation of delivery time, please see the time estimator on our product pages.

If you want to add to a completed order you can either place a new order and we will refund you the shipping cost, or contact us for a discount code so you don't have to pay the shipping charge twice.

Not at this stage.
We are an online business based in Sydney, Australia.
Everything is handmade to order, so even if you visited our workshop you'd probably not find anything to try on.

Our only retail stockist, where you can browse our products in-person is GEAR Berlin, in Berlin, Germany.

Once a year we have a Samples and Seconds Sale at Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Fair Day, usually late February.
Keep your eyes on our social pages.

We do our best, but variations in screen displays mean we cannot guarantee the colour you see will be the exact colour you receive.
If you aren't happy we have an easy RETURNS & EXCHANGES policy.

Sizing standards vary a lot, so we highly recommend you invest in a tape measure and get a friend to help if you’re unsure.
Our SIZE CHARTS have all the info.
If you fall outside our size range, we may still be able to make you what you want.

The short answer is no.
We will consider custom requests regarding size and changes to the colours of leathers, threads, and hardware, where possible.
We will only work with materials that we have extensively tested and have experience working with.

Leather is a natural product, and keeping it in good condition requires proper care and storage.

• Wipe with a damp cloth.
