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)

Irina has a pretty good name for this sort of thing.. is in Surry Hills..

I use Venus Leather Repair, Level 3, 104 Bathurst St, Sydney 2000 NSW tel 9267 0706. 

Went and saw Irina at lunchtime.

She can do it.

Stoked.

Thanks Ozducati for the hookup!

she altered some pants for me and did a first class job........she seems like a great girl ...couldnt stop talking about bikes........

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

Yep, Irena gets two thumbs up from me.   

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]

+1 for Irina. She's great, super quick and even offered to drop it off for me specially!

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