max power Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I got a used set of leathers from another member (hint: they smell like track guy ball sweat. BONUS!!!) and like the P.O., they have gone down. They survived very well except a spot on the left arm where the venting cloth has been torn from the leather. It just needs a half ass patch so it doesn't tear any more. Does anyone here have the ability to sew leather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Your welcome Actually I can sew leather, but I'm not or I would have fixed them a long time ago lol.I got thread and needles from JoAnns for 11 bux and fixed my Volvo's ripped leather. Took about 2 hours after breaking a few needles but the rip was way bigger, and sewing leather to leather is more difficult then leather to material.

max power Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Thanks brother. That's a good idea. Maybe I'll pick up a sewing needle and some material and give it a shot. I took one semester of home ec in high school. If I can make a race Car pillow, I think I can handle it.By the way, they fit Like a glove. A sweaty well oiled glove.

serpentracer Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 they don't use normal thread you can buy at walmart on riding gear. I'd send it off to barnacle bills in kentucky or look up spyder leather works. you can even have the cleaned.http://spyderleatherworks.com/http://www.racingleather.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
