Re: leather repairs
Take them to any good clothing adjustment type shop and tell them what you want.
I was marshalling with a guy once who tool some leather bottoms and a leather jacket to a motorbike shop and asked if a zip could be added to make them joinable for trackday......they wanted to charge him £100.......he took it to some lady shop in a quite side street and she did it for £15. Replicated the tough double stiching and everything to make sure it was safe.

Re: leather repairs
I remember hearing someone talking about a Guy in Great Horton (Bradford), around the back of the White Horse pub. I suspect you're best asking at either Powersport in Bradford, of Hein Gericke in Leeds, as they're more likely to know exactly where to find him
