    My leathers have gone to Nicola at leather aid for tailering...ok, shortening!! You just cant find a pair to fit when you've got the legs i've got. They're losing two inches from groin to knee and 1 inch off the shin, unfortunately this means that my Wolf's will become Olf's as the the W's in for the chop. Thought i'd best come clean about this as there's no point hidding anything from you stealy eye'd lot.
    Nicola works from home and is top notch with bike leather alterations

    Lets have it then.....!!

    People that do alterations for leathers seem to be as rare as rocking horse poop! Nice find! Tell her to get a website and start posting on forums about what she does, she'll get loads of work in!

    It's a little known fact that 'Olf' is the Norse god of those who lack height!
    It's Lilac... not pink!

    Stallion leathers in Swindonia are pretty well established, for those that live that way.

    ...And won't it say "Wol" on the other leg? :-?

    Another good contact for leather alterations, repairs or made-to-measure is Karen at Zak Leathers in Northampton, her website is here. Her workmanship (workwomanship?) is first class and I've used her for everything - made to measure for my race suit (check the sample pictures tab on her site), repairs (for the obvious) and alterations to tweak other jacktes and trousers, add zips etc.
    Racing is life, anything before or after is just waiting.

    Blimey, they're all coming out of the woodwork! Good to know where I can get stuff done (fairly) locally
