Hey all further to my Jacket being purchased overseas [ 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) waytogo

I have spoken to Irena before and she seems very helpful and reasonably priced.

Yep, Irena gets two thumbs up from me.  waytogo  waytogo

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!

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.  [moto] [moto] [moto]

Jacket too hard to return or tailor. Check out the trading post section, she's now on sale.
