Default Leather Tailors

Bought myself some leathers for next summer but I need to get the trousers shortened - cue laughter. Have tried a number of regular tailors dry cleaners etc but they cant do it as the leather is too thick. Anyone know of anyone who does this kind of thing?

May the force be with you ,

Jon

I have heard of someone on the forum getting their leathers altered. Didn't Mister C get his name put on them or something?

Anyone know the opening hours of Nine Lives. Have tried calling about 5 times but I just get a message saying that it is the 25th Jan and he is going to get his boy from school? Weird.

Really want to go and get my Leathers sorted, but Guildford is a long way to go if he isnt open!

Hi John,

Maybe give Infinity motorcycles a call and see if they know anything?

They're based just round the corner so might be able to help.
