Thanks.

Maybe worth contacting one of the companies that Skidlids has listed ;-)

Another +1 for nine lives.
They replaced a panel in a sleeve of a Dainese jacket after I had an off a few years back.
Excellent work, price wasn't too bad.
Bit of a pain to get to but worth it

Thanks for the input everyone.
It doesn't look as if I will be able to get to any until next week as onlygot tomorrow before i'm off to Donny to help Monty and Gordon with the DSC stand at the WSBk.
Which means I will only have 3 weeks to Oulton as such my mate Adrian has recommended a saddlers shop in Lambourn that have repaired his before so I'm going to take both suits in to see them and see what they say timescale wise. If they can't do it then I'll be popping in to Swindon

Thanks.

A couple of the links go direct to a pricing page so you should find the info there, one stated £45 for the zip in a one piece suit

Hideout do not seem (seam?) to be geared up for rapid turnarounds.
I have had alterations done and now have a spanking (oooer) new suit from them - superb quality but it wasn't quick (or cheap).

I use Cobra leathers all the time, noticed that the company had changed hands, as yet not used the new owner so can't comment on her work?

I had a zip put in for £30 which i reckon is a good price.
If you state you need it for a certain time/date they usually do yours as a priority but obviously will cost abit more.
I'm gonna take leather in soon to get a repair on the sleeve, so will know abit more soon about quality/time scales.

Cheers Steve
If the shop in Lambourn can't do the work I think i'll give Cobra a try
