I’m not really sure whether this is allowed or not and if it’s the right place. In case please remove it.
I just wanted to introduce myself more about the business side. I started working on motorcycle leathers a while ago and now offering cleaning and repairs, including re-colouring, alterations, customizations, zip replacement and much more. I can work with all clothing in general.
I needed a career change after working in retail since I’m in the UK and finally came out with this idea of trying to do something I love. I have a passion for motorcycling and love doing trackdays, so I thought this was the best thing to do . I have quite a lot of sewing and pattern cutting experience and now fallen in love with leather.
Hi @ranger1, no problem at all. I’m sure a number of us could do with your services after a few whoopsies over the years, I know my Dainese leathers could do with a spruce and the LB logo stitching on!
Fly zip replacement usually start from £30, but I could do it for £25 for you. I try to work with YKK zips as much as possible since they are the best, but more expensive though.
In a previous life I worked in rucksack and outdoor equipment manufacturing and I endorse this message - although I’ve always been surprised to see Dainese use Optilon and claim Opti are the best.
I have the opposite problem. Mine could do with some new pocket inserts but are otherwise in perfect condition, it’s just I have to breathe in to close the waist band these days. They must have shrunk in the rain or something.
I’ve looked and can’t see any obvious way of letting them out. It’s probably easier to buy a new pair than fasting
Hi all, I’m pleased to resurrect this old thread to report Devid has carried out a very professional repair and alteration on my old Dainese leather pants.
