Default Leather alterations

Can anyone recommend a good leather alteration company/person that will alter motorcycle gear?

Preferably close to Uxbridge area but not too fussed as to where if they are really good.

thanx

If there's a Hein Gericke near you, they can often recommend people.

Hence why I said often. If you go to the shop frequently it's got to be worth an ask.

This answer led me to
Nine Lives
13b Morris Road
North Camp
GU14 6HJ

01252 523232

I had already been recommended to them by a tailor in Guildford (9 lives used to be in Guildford). I found that any tailor from the yellow pages was not able to work on Motorbike leathers.

When I ripped my leathers (at the knee after a low side) Jonboy recommended Hideout Leathers near Saffron Waldon - got them repaired properly for about £20 or £30 (can't remember exactly as I had them cleaned at the same time) They make their own leathers which always get good results in the tests so you know their repairs are spot on.
