I have a one piece Teknic leather suit I need made smaller. Has anyone had a racing suit altered successfully?

Well, until somebody comes along with a USEFUL reply.......(somebody knows, I'm sure).
I can tell you I had a hard time finding an alteration place that could just replace a zipper in my leather overpants.

Biscuits and gravy would probably be a lot easier.

Used to be individuals, craftsmen, who were part of WERA and CCS road racing.
They built custom suits as well as re-building literally any part of a suit.
Ask people associated closely with road racing nowadays.

I have been told that this is a very good company to work with. I found her using google. Searched using "racing leathers repair" key words.

Thanks guys, the key search word was repair! Also checked the local motorcycle road racing website and found a place nearby that does motorcycle leather repair and alteration.

Thanks again!

Don't know of too many others, but local race forums should give you contacts.
