Glove Adjustment in Wellington

**pzkpfw** · 27th February 2006, 12:01

Hi,

I've got "extra skin" between my 2nd and 3rd fingers on each hand.

Makes my new gloves painful to wear properly.

Can anyone recommend a place where I might be able to get gloves "adjusted"?

Cheers,

Please explain - are you like Aquaman or summat?

Why don't you just drink heaps then get some scissors out? Better than hacking up a good pair of gloves.

I've heard of a guy in Stokes Valley(?) who does leathers, so I guess he could do gloves as well. I don't know his details. The guys at TSS in the hutt told me about him. Try them.

Pah its extra skin. Ride without gloves on and then when you bin............ Hey Presto, no major loss. In fact, it would be a good thing and then the gloves would fit.

All the best though mate

I'm Jewish and have a similar problem. It's like trying to push a Sharpei through a cat door.

In theory, being "Jewish" should help your problem -- more dacshund than sharpei...

Try the shoe shop repair place in Majoribanks St (just round corner from Wellington Motorcycles) Place looks a wreck but the guys seems pretty good with leather.

Aren't Jews helmets rather than anteaters?

Not if you've got a chubby one Lou. I'll show you next time I'm in the shop. It's quite impressive.

Take a photo of it Lou, and post it. I, for one, am curious about a "chubby Jewish sharpei" and its relativism to a cat flap...

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'll try the place near Wellington Motorcycles, as I've got to take the gloves back to WM anyway... velcro-tightener stitching came undone the second time I wore the gloves. Grrr. ...and I bought the gloves when picking up my boots that had just come back from getting the busted zip fixed...

(My finger thing is just extra webbing between these two fingers, both hands - also makes my wedding ring a pain to wear).

Cheers,

I gotta try that one if I get busted without...

The Leather Shop in Porirua is bloody brilliant! Yep thats the name of it too!
Great for alterations and fixing leathers so gloves would not be a problem for them either

**Colapop** · 27th February 2006, 18:34

Yep got to agree with that "The Leather Shop" are good for leather repairs or alterations.
If the gloves are coming apart though, don't worry about it till you get some that aren't going to come apart.

You could have a chat to the gents at the Wellington Railway Station entrance, they repair leather, they've repaired my gloves and leather pants, and didn't sting me.
