I've had repair/sewing work done on my race suit by Marcello's.
Marcello's Alterations
713) 623-0338
5015 Westheimer Rd, #1105 (lowel level by the ice rink)

There's also a shop out at FM 1960 and 45 North.
It's called Jesse' Leather. They specialize in leather repair.
(281) 397-9259
1976 Fm 1960 Rd W, Houston, TX 77090

And I think Alvin kept mentioning some Vietnamese lady who does alterations on leather gear.
Has a shop across from Starbuck's on Shepherd, between Alabama and Westheimer.
Ask him for details.

I take all of my clothes to Martin Tailors (Shepherd and Feagan). I'm not sure what their capabilities are with leather, but they are phenomenal with other clothing so give them a call and ask.

not sure if my alterations lady would take on a job like that or not, give those other suggestions a shout first, and if it doesn't work out, we can ask the lady I use

Chipo,

I'm not sure if this will provide you the proper protection since the picture looked like it was in pieces :'( Also, it may cost about the same to fix as buying a new jacket :-\

Regards
