| Leather repair In my lowside at Grattan I wore a hole in the forearm of my leathers. Where should I go to have it repaired? Thinking of having some lettering sewn on while I'm at it...  |

| Re: Leather repair I'd try an upholstery shop. There's one in the Brookpark/Pearl Rd area, kind of accross the street from Ziebart. |

| Re: Leather repair What brand of leathers do you have? Depending on the make, some leathers aren't worth repairing.

How about "Pete's Bitch" on one forearm and "Gimme $1" on the other? |

| Re: Leather repair Call Diane at Z Custom. They just repaired my full suit after a major get-off and you can't even tell they've been crashed. Excellent work and fair prices. And yes, they will work on leathers they haven't made themselves.  |
