Wheres a good place to go to get leather worked on here in the Denver Metro area? I have a jacket that I want to get tapered so it doesn't bunch up when im riding. Just dont want to end up at some hack job seemstress place and then one day have a get off... only to have my jacket fall apart cause it was re-sown with lace or some crap :D

Thanks!

+1, and it's right by you... She's awesome! Fixed my leathers a year back. Great work and very well priced...

Nate Butler is back in town and back in business

He's done great work for me in the past


Hey Everyone
I'm Nate Butler, used to race with the MRA back when (Moto) GP bikes were 500cc 2 strokes. Used to own a company that made custom road racing, and land luge leathers called EJ Bloodnickel.
I can fix up most of your crash repairs, take care of most of your alterations, and your graphics as well. Many other sewn goods needs too (tire warmers, awnings, you name it). I'm pretty reasonably priced with a quick turn around time. I usually have stretch kevlar, mesh, lycras, and extra wide velcro in stock. Since I used to race and build these things I know how to repair them correctly.

Does Kris Hillman still do repair? If so, she does really good work.

Kris is taking a break and not doing leather repairs at the moment.

Harry and Sarah down at Twin Peaks Leathers in Arvada do a great job. It is more of a Harley shop but she has done some amazing things for me in the past.

so do you all think New leathers or is this repairable. Very low speed Low-side, making Left turn and a person ran a Stop sign, I was only going about 10-15 MPH if not less. OR does it even need to be fixed?

Slap a sticker over it. :D

I have a pair of those, and that's just pocket for the hard plastic knee armor underneath. It won't compromise protection significantly. Repair would be cosmetic IMO.
