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

9 lives here too.
Used them twice and will use them again.

9 lives here too except I don't know how they compare for price with others. Nice chap too

Anybody know a ball park figure to replace a zip in a leather jacket?

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 :

I used hideout, They took 4 weeks, and then I had to go and collect them the day before the race at mallory because they hadn't done them in time to post them, then they charged me £100. Not recomended,

the work is very good, can't knock them there, Not sure about price or service.

Hill4leather seconded by me.. we've had a few jobs done by them for the race team and top quality and turn-around time is excellent. Really nice chaps who run the company.

Cougar Leathers is a new company just set up by the head seamstress of Carrera Leathers, Christine, as Martin has closed Carrera down, she is in Shepreth, Herts.......and I can vouch for the quality of her work, she was at Hideout before Carrera.....
