Anyone in Melbourne that repairs leathers? I have some leather pants that need some repair as the stitching came apart when sliding across track.

There's a guy in moorabin. Can't remember his name. Can find out through. He did some gloves for me after an off last year. Also reasonably priced.

Usually in the car park at the back of the PITS at Race meetings :roll: ;)
Call him PH: 0411 966 097, he will let you know where he is going to be.

Call Mick (above) he is mobile and at most race meetings. Or if you can't wait and can travel to the North West, Lower Portland, call Megan at Quin Leathers PH: 0402 173 530.

Both do a great job, but Mick would be the cheaper of the two. He used to work on $1 a minute or $60 an hour.

I've had Irena from OzMotorcycle Leathers repair my leathers and also alter another set of leathers that Jenny Craig couldn't fix. :oops: She also repaired Nelso's which was a major operation given the amount of damage to them.
You can post the leathers to her and she will post them back so it doesn't really matter where you are, but I would definitely recommend her handy work. She also uses the proper reinforced cotton to do the stitching so you will probably get them back stronger than they were originally if they are off the shelf leathers.
