    Gear Repair Question

    When I crashed my last bike, I ripped (at the seams only I believe) my leather jacket from the breast to the armpit on the right side.

    I also ripped the palm on my right glove.

    I'm 100% going to have the jacket re-stitched at the seams but I'm not sure if it's worth it to repair the palm of the glove or just buy a new pair. The gloves are not heavily used and not worn out anywhere other than the damaged area.

    I was thinking about bringing the jacket to either a local tailor or cobbler to be stitched, but I was looking for advice if anyone has had similar repairs done and can recommend a reputable place. Should I have the jacket done at a place that specializes in leather?

    Thanks!

    I'd just get new gloves. Repair the jacket.
