Are you wanting to restore an old jersey or simply have something customized?

When I hear restoration, I'm thinking matching material, same twill, etc.

I don't know if EPS does that. I've had them customize a few NFL retail jerseys for me, but they're no longer able to offer that service.

Has anyone else used Exclusive Pro Sports? Especially for current MLB jerseys? I am looking to do a nameplate change on a 2009 Padres jersey and was wondering how good of a job they do.

Also are there other companies out there that do MLB jersey customization/restoration?

I use Exclusive Pro every once in a while for current jerseys. They have everything in stock to customize each & every one of the MLB teams (glitter twills, gold & silver metallic, glacier, etc.) and do a professional job. They may take a little while to finish a job due to literally thousands of jerseys coming in priodically (certain times of year are a lot busier than others too).

Where I wouldn't use them is for vintage and non-current jerseys, as these require very different materials that few are able to get their hands on (older tackle twill lettering for example). For this type of work, I almost exclusively use Lon Lewis. He pays extraordinary attn to detail, his work is top notch, and he is lightning fast. Hope this helps.

Stitches is a small shop in NY and has had the Mets contract for customizing/lettering for quite a few years. I do not know if they do any of the other pro teams, and I have heard that they might not have the specs for Mets jerseys other than the present styles. I have used them for customizing a couple of current Mets jerseys, and the work is exactly as expected.
