Hi everyone. I’m new to the forum. Haven’t even bought a bike yet, but I’ve started buying my gear. I’ve had my full licence for 11 years now but I’ve never had a safe place to park a bike until now. I’ve been trying to find a pair of jeans that fit well. I’ve tried so many brands of jeans and cargos but none of them work well for me (I guess I’m non-standard build). I recently ordered a pair of Hood SK11s which are the closest thing to a good fit, so I’m keeping them. I want to make some alterations to them (yes I know, I risk losing the CE rating). I need a recommendation for someone who can make some adjustments. Things I’m thinking about doing - widening the leg opening so they go over my boots, and if possible, raise the rise (the current rise is a bit too low). All guidance greatly appreciated 🙂 ---

Don’t know whereabouts you are but if Aldershot isn’t too far or not a too unpleasant ride there’s a bunch down there called Hill4Leather who do alterations on motorcycle kit, they’re very good, did a small repair on a pair of trousers of mine and you’d never know. ---

David Cafini did a great job letting out my leathers after they no longer fitted me - they must have shrunk in the wash. He does alterations and repairs to all motorbike gear.

> [@Rocker75](#): > > Hill4Leather Thanks for the advice Rocker. I’m going to call them first to see if they can help me. Aldershot is a bit out of the way and I’m currently without transport 😛 ---

Thank you Michael. Shame he’s moved back (although good for him). Saw his website and his work looks great.
