    Leather repair and alterations

    I am looking to get a Roland Sands leather jacket altered. I just need about 1/2-3/4 of an inch removed from the sleeves.
    I am also needing some repairs done to a set of Alpinestar GPTech gloves.

    Anyone know someone close to the colorado springs area that is good with this type of stuff?

    Dunno bout the Springs, but Nate Butler in Denver. Lots of racers in the MRA trust Nate with their suits.

    I haven't had any yet, was just trying to get ahold of him for some estimates. I haven't tried real hard, one phone call and one email is all.

    He cleaned a (very dirty) two piece for me. Gave an estimate to alter the jacket. Friendly guy. We shot the poo for about 30 min.
    I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

    He altered my 1 piece riding suit, stitched up the thumb on my glove and cleaned my very dirty white jacket. Check out his FB page, he has a lot of his work is posted on there.

    Re: Leather repair and alterations

    Anyone know how to reach Nate? He helped me some leather work a couple of years ago and now I have a few other items that could use work. I have tried his phone number, but no response and his FB and website are down. Thanks

    I know he's on facebook, CSC group, MRA group, etc. He posted seven two zero 243 2059 as his phone number, not sure if that's what you have.
