    Gear tailor

    Hey I'm happy with my gear but I'd prefer my jacket to be slightly more fitted around the waist. Anyone know a good place/person to get this done?

    Oh great thanks! I'd heard of them but wanted to make sure they were good first. Any idea what I'd be paying for such an alteration?

    Price'll vary, but the result will be a tailored fit. Well worth it.
    Go see her and discover the options

    Yeah, what nosebleed said. The price is pretty reasonable (so may not be the cheapest in the world), but the quality of work is always excellent. I've had a lot of work done by her: cordura repairs, leather overlays sewn on, seams restitched, zips and zip sliders replaced, pants altered, armour added. If you want a price estimate first, give her a call first on 309 9522.

    I second that. She's got a really high standard and does a good job.

    Kerrie is absolutely briliant to work with. Totally recommended.
