Leather alterations, Tauranga or Rotorua?

[Bassmatt]

I need my leather pants altered due to some weight loss and strangely they now also seem a little bit long.
Where in the BOP can I go for top quality work?

She did an awesome job on my old race leathers & tried to charge me a stupidly small amount for doing so.

Interesting. I have taken stuff in there to be altered and recieved blank looks from the woman behind the counter. I got the distinct impression she had never worked on motorcycle gear before and she could offer no suggestions as to how to achieve the desired outcome. We discussed altering pants but all that was offered was to put a leather tab thing on the side of the pants. I want someone who will unstitch them, make the alterations and stitch em back up

This was around 12 months ago, perhaps things have changed since then?
She made a great job of replacing a zip, what work have you had done there?

Chuck it in a Bag and send it to Celtic and get the job dome by a pro.
send him good precise info also explaining the issue, tell him I sent you, he will help you out with top stitching and workmanship

Oh, that was stupid old Anne. You had to be on your best behaviour & say please & thankyou or I got the distinct impression she would hit you over the knuckles with a wooden ruler.
