Help With Leather Jacket

joe mc donald · Sep 30, 2018

Just wondering if someone might know someone who can stich and alter a leather jacket reasonably priced. What it is my jacket which is fairly soft. It has starting to fall to pieces but I love it
What I am trying to achieve is a new padded lining which I have a new zip which I have mainly as the one on it zips up the wrong side for me. And I want a patch removing and replacing a three or four more adding. And I am willing to wait as I won't wear it till next spring.
Ride Safe.

From an ad. in "NACELLE" (the TOMCC magazine) :-

I have no association, knowledge or experience of them but, if they're in the owners mag. you'd liketo think they've got to have SOME credible experience! Worth a phone call at least.

Best of luck.

Yes I will give them a shout. Probably expensive but worth a try thanks. I might have to find someone who does it as a hobby and doesn't over charge as its a choice of repairing this jacket I love or just buying a new one.

You could try www.garforthcobbler.co.uk if it's not too far away for you - just outside Leeds. I've never had cause to have any dealings with him but he does seem to have a good reputation hereabouts.
