Just been looking into places to get my leathers repaired

The usual place to go is Cathy in Woodcote but I hear things can take a while
so I have come up with the following list

anybody got any experience of dealing with them, turn around times etc, especially the Swindon ones as I can possibly fit them in while visiting a mate

Swindon,

Cobra Leathers are good, and Sally's not expensive either. She's done stuff for me, Zimbo, and Steve Klee, and I think we were all happy with her work.

Karen at Zak did a great job with a great turnaround after my scissor-assisted exit from my leathers at Cadwell.

(although thanks to Lily it was a much easier repair than it could have been as she told the medics where to cut, cheers m'dears! )

nine lives recoemnded here Kev, and if you're nice to me I may be able to drop them off if its just a simple repair

took a week to do mine, and 2 weeks to competely change a 2 peice to 1 piece, although that wasnt in race season

Thanks.

hi all
Sad news about cobra leathers, Sally retired at the end of April after a long an successful career as a leather seamstress and electronics engineer. i,ve had both my jeans and my race suit altered so that i could wear my boots under them ala Rossi, and she done an excellent job. she told me that she has sold the business as a going concern but don,t know nything about the new owner or the quality of their work???

Nine Lives have lost some custom cos they've lost some staff ...
I've had some excellent work done on my Race leathers and Sue's 2-piece leathers by 'Hill 4 Leather' who are much easier to get to than Nine Lives :

Hill 4 Leather
86 South Lane, ALDERSHOT, Hampshire GU12 6NJ
