Trusted fitting partner for Hockerty 5+ years of craftsmanship Recommended by word of mouth
The Openfit Workshop

Where skill meets
attention to detail

When the world shut down in 2020, Openfit opened its doors. Nestled inside Nottingham's charming Flying Horse Walk arcade, we've spent five years building a reputation for craftsmanship that goes beyond the ordinary.

We've made dresses 12 inches bigger, repaired leather that others won't touch, and as a trusted fitting partner for Hockerty — the international made-to-measure brand — we bring the same precision to every garment.

"I've used OpenFit twice now, and they have been absolutely fantastic both times. The results are flawless — you'd never know they had been taken in. Their turnaround time is phenomenal, they had my jeans ready the next day. I wouldn't go anywhere else for clothing alterations. Highly recommend!"
