Hey

I was thinking that I'd like to have one of my jackets altered a little. (made smaller, not bigger... [laugh])

Anybody have experience getting leather repairs or alterations done by a local shop?

Edit: Has anyone hired Sew What to do alterations?

Dude, do yourself a favor and bring it to Tom's Tailors on Grand Avenue in St. Paul. I've brought a few leather jackets to them and each one turned out perfect. They're just west of Dale and Grand, on the South side of the street.

Is "Tom's Tailors" the same as "Tom the Tailor"?

Tom the tailor does great work on ANYTHING. He did my bridemaid dresses.

Your bridesmaid dress was made out of leather? What kind of wedding were you in? Did you bring Gabe on a leash? Sorry bored at work. On a constructive note; Tom is going to do my race suit and everyone on mnsbr raves about how good his work is, haven't heard anything bad.

You know I actually thought about getting white leathers for riding to get married in. I thought if I was going to spend THAT much on a wedding dress that I may as well get more use out of it. Alas I was talked out of it by family.

Seriously they tailor anything.

Your family sucks. That's the best idea ever.
