I have managed to knacker one of the zips on my boots. Has anyone had the zip replaced before on a pair of Dainese boots? I'm in Hampshire.
There used to be a company called nine lives in Farnborough that some years ago did quite a few leather repairs and alterations, I don't know if they are still going? This is the last address I can find for them if it's any good? http://www.ninelivesleathers.co.uk/
You could also try Hill 4 Leather in Ash near Aldershot. They replaced a full zip in my Daytonas which 3 years on is still good. Andy
There is a shoe repairers in Lime Street (near Fenchurch Street) in that there London that replaced the zips on my Daytona's without changing the boots integrity, and resoled and reheeled them at the same time. The original Daytona soles wore out quickly, but these new ones haven't any sign of wear in six months, and they still give the same feel through the footpegs. Total cost was £100 for all (Daytona themselves wanted £120 just to resole them) and came back nicely polished. It's called City Slickers, 34 Lime Street EC3M 7AT. Highly recommended.
Sorry for slight hijack but is there someone in West Sussex who does leather repairs? I would certainly consider Ninelivesleather if I can find nothing closer.
Thanks for all the info. Chris at http://www.ninelivesleathers.co.uk says he can replace the zip, so it is going off to him for repair.
@Loz, use Chris. There is no-one better but he is v busy. Esp during race season. Plus its dead easy to get to. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place...77e77bc9b789046e!8m2!3d51.275722!4d-0.7409555
If for any reason you don't get sorted ( wait times etc) , you could try LSR http://www.lancashiresportsrepairs.co.uk/motor_cycle_clothing_repairs.htm They are miles from you but do a postal service & reports are good.
Got my boot repaired by Chris at http://www.ninelivesleathers.co.uk/. Absolutely fantastic job. I can't recommend him enough. (Before & after shots).
