View Full Version : Crotch too long

I have some leather pants but the crotch is too long so it is difficult to straddle the bike.
Can the pants/crotch be altered?
I don't want them pulled up from the waist because then the leg length will be soooo wrong. Perfect fit everywhere else, I just have a short waist lol.
I guess I have left myself open for some smart comments... if you know what I mean:msn-wink: but I'm a big girl so bring it on
You can lay your bike down, slide on, then eject both you and said bike to an upright postion in one movement....:niceone:

There must be a Tailor or seamstress in Napier .... not a major job. There is one or two on KB that do those alterations ....

Leaving herself open can be fixed by doing up the zip though ... :killingme

Ratti does them FJ !
Yeah take ya crotch in works, but you (the machinist) will have to start around the knee or just above and slowly take a larger seam up to the crotch center then slowly out again to the knee
Question there is, how much do ya need taken in ? It will be taking as much both sides of the seam IE front and backside, will the thigh still fit ?
Who ever does it will need a heavy duty walking foot machine, not just ya commercial singer sewer ! There will be an upholsterer up your way somewhere that will have a machine that'll handle it i'm sure

Problem now fixed.
Went to Jet Leathers in Hastings (thanx Beautiful :msn-wink:).
Now I just have to get some decent boots - Got to look the part, right?
And for safety too of course :rolleyes:
