Hi all,

I am looking for a seamstress to sew a strip of zippers into my leather jacket to attach to my Alpinestar track pants. Can anyone recommend me a good seamstress?

Also, any ideas on how much this may cost?

Thanks for your answer.

I had some alterations done to my leathers by "Alexander by MacCray" 303-934-7940. They were recommended by two different places I called as the only people in town who are both willing and capable of working on Motorcycle leathers. They are located on the west side of Broadway just north of Bates. I ended up paying about $100 but they did a fair bit more than what you say you require. I am still very happy with their work.

Yeah, I don't know her name either but she repaired my buddy's leathers after he crashed and broke his collarbone. He had a nice tear on the shoulder, she patched it and sewed his name on there to "disguise" the repair job, and I think it only cost him $40 or something like that. I'm pretty sure he tipped her more than that though. :)

HCRMike might have her contact info...

That dude happens to be the President of the club. His name is Andrew Drattlo, and his wife, Kris, does great work on leathers. I don't have contact info, but at least now you have the name.
