I have a one piece Teknic leather suit I need made smaller. Has anyone had a racing suit altered successfully? |

Well, until somebody comes along with a USEFUL reply.......(somebody knows, I'm sure). I can tell you I had a hard time finding an alteration place that could just replace a zipper in my leather overpants. "Oh No No! Too Thick! Too Thick!" Biscuits and gravy would probably be a lot easier. Rotzaruck! |

Used to be individuals, craftsmen, who were part of WERA and CCS road racing. They built custom suits as well as re-building literally any part of a suit. Ask people associated closely with road racing nowadays. |

Thanks guys, the key search word was repair! Also checked the local motorcycle road racing website and found a place nearby that does motorcycle leather repair and alteration. Thanks again! |
