Leather repairers. Any recommendations?

#1 Post by oma » Wed Feb 19, 2020 3:53 pm

My leathers have become a bit tatty and I rather than a new set I would like to get them repaired.

A few panels are accident damaged ...it looks cool but isn't and the elastic and velcro need replacing. The only place I know of is Cougar Leathers nr Royston but I have no experience of them and would like to know if the assorted massive know of them or have any other recommendations?

Small concern, I had an errant zip replaced there, and they were excellent.

Hideout have a good reputation on sorting leathers. I have a local place that sorts out any bike leather alterations on a job by job basis ..... all depends on your location.

When the missus went to her set of leathers after a winter and found the fairies had shrunk them they managed to adapt the waist to add a bit of give ...... she ended up opting for textiles so we have a full set of size 12 Joe Rocket leathers surplus to requirements with added pink

I'll check out Hideout. I need some panels replacing and the velcro fixing but not much else
