    Barnacle Bill Leather repair.

    If you haven't had a chance to do business with him you should. Just have to give a shout out to Bill's service.

    I sent him 2 suits for cleaning and evaluation for repairs

    We emailed back and fourth to worked out the details. Nothing special.

    BUT...

    He called me last saturday to make sure the order was correct, explained what he thought was wrong with the suits and what needed to be done, said he would fix some simple stuff for free.

    We even chatted about kids and the weather and his grandson and such.

    Great guy and a pleasure to do business with. He even gave me a discount.

    I'll post pics when I get the suits back.

    If/when I need my leathers worked on, I know who I'll send them to. Thanks for the heads up!

    Thanks for the info Doc. I will have to see what repairs my suit will need.
    I haven't looked at his site yet but I wonder if he does alterations for short people.

    Why would he care how tall you were? Is he a giant?

    no, meaning my legs are short, thus finding a suit that fits good is hard. The one I have, the legs are long.
