Logan's boot and shoe repair

Denton tx 76208
It's an older lady and her husband that run the place. When I brought in it in she told me the last time she worked on one of those suits was when Evel Knievel was in lewisville and need some repairs done! Pretty cool stuff

I had the same exact thing happen to my SS leather jacket.

Re: Leather Repair
Any new info on places. This is a very old thread and all. I am going looking tomorrow.... just need the zipper reattached a little at the bottom of the jacket.

Re: Leather Repair
I'm a regular customer at Moto Liberty. They (or rather, the person whom they outsource this to) have repaired my leathers many times, and I've always been happy with their work. In fact, my leathers are over there right now. Make sure you give them about a full week to get it done.

Re: Leather Repair
Its not just crashing (which I only seem to do about 1.5 times per season, on average ), but also general wear and tear: The inside thighs get a lot of wear, due to the tank pads. Also, waiting too long to replace the knee pugs, and then dragging knee on the leather itself doesn't help either.LonestarCBR wrote:Quit falling off.Striple wrote:They...have repaired my leathers many times...

Re: Leather Repair
Okay, those are mostly problems I don't encounter a great deal I'll have to admit. I do have some very light scuffs on my knee pucks (no, I didn't fall down in the paddock), and a few bugs I need to clean off.

It's really funny when you see someone's knee pucks and you can tell them took them off and ground them on the sidewalk.Striple wrote:Ok, some coffee just went up into my nose.LonestarCBR wrote:no, I didn't fall down in the paddock

Re: Leather Repair
I have transferred my worn track pugs onto my street leathers, and have found it rather priceless to see the look on people's faces when they see some dude dismounting a C-14 at a gas station with completely worn knee pugs...

Yeah, you definitely get Rhino's brass balls award if you can pull that off.

Re: Leather Repair
I found a place near my house that is going to charge me 16 to restitch the zipper on the jacket and will have it back to me in 2 days. After the work is complete I will give a full report.

Re: Leather Repair
The amount alone is odd enough to make me curious.

Re: Leather Repair
Well it will have to be better than the bottom part not being stitched in. Even if its not great it will work but we will see.
