Repair Services
Repair and refurbishment work on Aerostich gear is done at our headquarters in Duluth, Minnesota. All inquires and questions are welcome.
Estimates are always free.
Please call us at 800-222-1994 or email us at service@aerostich.com with questions or for specific time estimates. (For example, replacing a worn-out zipper requires less time than complex crash repairs.) Work is normally managed in order received. Average turnaround time is 1-3 weeks. Range may be up to 8 weeks.

More About Our Repair & Refurbishment Services
Services are available for most existing models, following a free examination and assessment. You will be contacted with an itemized estimate of repairs needed, based on time and materials, before work is begun.
- Repair service rates are $60 per hour and are based on average times involved to restore each damaged area.
Please Note: The color of repaired or patched areas may not match the existing garment due to differences in fabric aging and dye lots.

However, depending on condition of materials, repair options are limited to:
- Main zip on Roadcrafter Classic, one or two-piece
- Wrist tab Velcro: hook side only
- Collar Velcro: hook side only
- Two-way pockets: hook velcro only
- Zipper pull tab handle

Crash Repairs?
Repair availability depends on the amount and type of damage. A suit is considered 'totaled' and cannot be repaired if the cost of the repairs exceeds half of the price of the suit at the time it was manufactured (for example, if a suit's selling price was $800 when first sold, it will become 'totaled' today at $400).
(Pictured: "Crasher wall" at the Aerostich factory and store. Every suit tells a story.)
Refurbishment Services
Refurbishment may include replacing worn or broken zippers, snaps, hook and loop, adding fabric patches and reapplication of seam tape. Not all garments may be eligible for repair or refurbishment services, depending upon the extent of work needed and the age and/or condition of the garment. After many years of hard wear and long use effective refurbishment and repair work may be impossible and/or uneconomical.
Cleaning, Inspection, and Water Repellent Service
Complete washing, general inspection, and water repellent renewal service for Roadcrafter/R-3 suits, Darien jackets and pants and AD1 pants. A detailed inspection of the hook & loop, zippers, stitching, fabric, and laundering with NikWax wash-in water repellent. Stain removal is not guaranteed, but suits will smell nicer and will work better in the rain. If sewing repairs or pad replacements are needed, you will be contacted with an estimate.
One Piece #255 $100.00
Jackets #256 $65.00
