    Leather alterations in Palmerston North?

    Hey guys just got a question, i scored a set of one piece leathers from overseas, size 42 and they are just a little to baggy.

    Was wondering is it possible to resize them to fit a bit better and if so who would be the person to do it in Palmerston north?

    Cheers

    Make sure you find the right person to make the alterations, because leather is very unforgiving if they get it wrong! Don't be tempted to alter it yourself. Ask a seamstress or make enquiries at your local Bernina store, they might know someone who sews leather.

    What this man said, He does very good work, at very reasonable prices, i was very happy with the work he did for me.

    Try contacting him via the website details:

    http://www.celtic-leathers.com/page.php?3

    He'll most likely be at the Next Vic Round in manfeild on Oct 18th with his kit set up there so you may be able to get him to sort out sizing then.

    (Tell him Paddy Doohan sent you also )

    He certainly has a great rep! It's a pity AMI didn't send my jacket to him for repair, cause whoever did it, completely fucked it!
