Hey! does anyone have a source for the kind of material (not even sure what it is!) that the stretchy panels use in leathers? - I asked a professional repairer, and the quote was 300€ to remove and refit 4 stretch panels... I kinda like the jacket, but not that much! ...So I'll do it myself...if I can find really good quality material (only want to do the job once ) Cheers Grant
I know that is a euphemism...ya cheeky dog! The jacket has just been very well used for a good number of years...seems a shame to chuck it for the sake of a bit of stitching..
give Kate a ring at Hideout Leathers. She and her team would do this for you. They're based near Saffron Walden
Another vote for Hideout Leather: top-notch service and craftsmanship You can post the jacket to Hideout if it’s easier than visiting.
Another big plus for Kate & the gang. Did repair work on my BKS leathers & added a pocket & waist zip to my Knox mesh jacket. Quality work
I had some of mine "unshrunk" by Christine at Cougar Leathers. Know several people had wok done them her
I’d be even more concerned about the seam burst strength than the material. It takes know-how to determine where double- versus triple-stitching is needed, which thread to use, how to stitch it together securely, etc.
