    Leather Alterations

    Anyone know a good taylor I could take my jacket and pants too?
    I need a zipper sewed in and possibly fix the
    length on my pants.

    Thanks.

    Heather at BAB Racing. Do a search there are thousands of threads on the topic...... She does great work but she is pretty far away.

    I called her last week about doing some alterations for me.. she seemed put out by what I needed done.. Needless to say.. she won't be doing any work for me... But maybe she'd be more receptive to you.. since you're a guy ? ..

    Basically all they will do is hem the arms and legs... If it's anything more extensive, they won't do it.

    Yea, the lady who did my suit shortened the legs ABOVE the knee as well as removing some material to taper the calf a bit more. She didn't just hem them at the cuffs.

    You might call Barnacle Bills leathers and see if they'd be willing to do the alterations. You would have to come up with your own measurements, and it wouldn't end up quite as "custom".

    Could be worth a shot.
