Title: Leather Tailors Post by: Justo on June 08, 2010, 01:40:25 PM Hey all further to my Jacket being purchased overseas [ http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=38994.0 (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=38994.0) ], with no response from the Italians it was bought from, or any help from Ducati Australia or the importers. Not sure why I am surpirsed... I'm now toying with getting a tailor to look at it.
Anyone know, used or recommend a good leather tailor in Sydney? (Lucky I also picked a Panagale at the sale the other day) [thumbsup] Title: Re: Leather Tailors Post by: ozducati on June 08, 2010, 02:21:44 PM Irina has a pretty good name for this sort of thing.. is in Surry Hills..

Title: Re: Leather Tailors Post by: Justo on June 08, 2010, 07:03:17 PM Went and saw Irina at lunchtime.
She can do it. Stoked. Thanks Ozducati for the hookup! Title: Re: Leather Tailors Post by: hambo on June 08, 2010, 08:47:29 PM she altered some pants for me and did a first class job........she seems like a great girl ...couldnt stop talking about bikes........ :)
Title: Re: Leather Tailors Post by: signora monster on June 08, 2010, 09:44:05 PM I have spoken to Irena before and she seems very helpful and reasonably priced.
Title: Re: Leather Tailors Post by: spotcom on June 09, 2010, 12:46:26 AM Yep, Irena gets two thumbs up from me. [thumbsup] [thumbsup]
You should see the job she did on my Spyke roo-skin leathers. I'd made a bit of a mess of them at Eastern Creek, but she did a great job in repairing them. I believe her when she said, "I really put my heart into them - they're such beautiful leathers!" She even re-coloured them! Title: Re: Leather Tailors Post by: Justo on June 10, 2010, 12:57:37 PM God bless her. She talked me out of doing it. Anyone else would of probably run with the cash (it wasnt going to be cheap).
Certainly a genuine honest service supplied there! I strongly recommend her on that principle alone. I managed to finally get in touch with the store in Italy and am now returning them for the right size.

Title: Re: Leather Tailors Post by: Justo on June 16, 2010, 01:52:36 PM Jacket too hard to return or tailor. Check out the trading post section, she's now on sale.
