So I took my leathers to Colorado Leather and Furs down on Broadway to get some lettering done and a small seam repaired. The shop was recommended to me.
They said it would take about a week and cost $100. (Kris, come back, all is forgiven!!!)
So, I go to pick up my leathers last Saturday and find that they took off the old lettering as requested, but just sewed on the new letters without taking off the glue from the old ones. Which makes the back of the leathers look like sh!t. When I pointed this out, they were less than cooperative. After some back and forth, I gave up, paid my money and left.
Yesterday I get a call from them saying "We just found some pads that we think came from your suit."
Turns out they removed some pads and forgot to put them back in. They put back one layer but not the second one. When I tried to arrange for them to get everything fixed in time to ride SCR Thursday, they gave me the run around re: dropping them off and picking them up. "I don't know what to tell you" was their answer.
TELL ME YOU'RE GOING TO FIX THEM SO I DON'T LOSE MY SKIN OR LIMBS OR LIFE IF I CRASH, YOU MORONS!!!!
Needless to say I would not recommend this as a place to get your leathers fixed. The last thing I need to be worrying about on race day is whether my leathers have all the pads they came with and whether all the seams are going to hold.
