    Of a leather tailor in North Jersey that I can go too or have any advice

    What I should do. Thanks for the help.

    Nope


    Box it up, send it to Barnacle Bill and give him your measurements to adjust it.

    sure we can

    send barnacle bill a plane ticket and I'll bring my portable sewing machine up and alter them in your liviing room for free. of course I'll need a place to stay for a few weeks while I take in the sites and I'll take meals with you. can the misses cook? I can ride your bike for a couple of runs through the mountains too or at least the scrub pines.
    then again I guess you can send it in . we alter those all the time. it's 80.00 and return shipping . put them on . raise the knee where the armor fits and pinch up the excess material above the leather expander and mark both sides of the pinched leather to show how much comes out. take note when it's raised that th ecuff is correct. it usually is . then send it in. for a quicker turnaround include payment and a pre-paid UPS return label or jsut throw another 20 in there and I;'ll ship it. pull off your pucks and remove what armor you can to save weight and for sure use an approprate size box. some guys are paying for oversize on their shipments becasue they are usiing dang refrigerator size boxes for just one suit. anyway there you go. happy st. patricks day to all. bill and darethea

    hello Mr. Ahab. I saw you on a news channel cutting a net off a whale last fall. sir that takes sand to do that. wish I could go help out but the distance is great and my time is getting smaller each day. on school time too raising a grandchild ( he's 8 now) . I'm teaching him to sail and we're riding wheelers in thewoods but he's got to learn that trees won't move for ya. b bill and darethea

    yeah that todd's Ok . always pays his bills on time with us when we work for him . and those light weight suits are easy to work on too . not much we can do with the painted on designs though and I've had a hard time explaing to some you can't move a painted on patch. I've got a couple of them in the shop now . mostly zippers and such. I love a good repair job on an imported suit with my morning coffee . the best to all bill and darethea

    multiple times

    we have fixed the same suit for some guys multiple time. like 10 cleanings and repairs for mr. brooks suit over 10 yrs.and those red dragon dainese suits of russel masacars rotated out in here so much they had a reserved place on the racks. the last of the suits with the 40.00 cleaning have been done . old price went back into effect yesterday ( the 20th) . anybody know when spring is coming? it was like 18 degrees here this morning. last year it was in the 80's? bill and darethea

    Barnacle Bill all the way. He repaired and cleaned my kushitani suit, and turned it around lightning fast in a pinch. I'd use him based solely on how good the suit smelled when I got it back. I wanted to sleep with it, and it was rank when he got it.
