    Re: Names on leathers

    could those that respond also provide an idea on pricing?

    I'm looking to replace 3 big letters on the back and write 2 letters on the front

    Re: Names on leathers

    Bill did my leathers years ago. He god some repairs on addition to the name add. I don't remember the cost but at the time I thought it was reasonable. Turn around was about 2-3 weeks.



    I contacted Vanson too but was told it would be several months for repairs.

    Its good stuff. I have some stuff made by him. No idea about lettering costs. I think he has it listed on his page somewhere.

    Re: Names on leathers

    Looking back at my post this morning I learned one thing...... Drinking and typing don't mix.

    On topic.... The one thing that really impressed me about BB was the phone calls. He went over all the details and kept me informed of the progress.

    Vanson did this for me.



    I dont know what I paid for the lettering because I got the suit at the same time Might be worth your while to at least contact them.

    Denno posted a thread about his leather go to guy. I believe his guy does great work for a fraction of the price you otherwise pay elsewhere. You might want to pm Denno for his leather guy contact info...

    Re: Names on leathers

    I'll see if I can find my contact info for Alexa, she's done awesome work on my beater AGV suit, kept it going far past it's anticipated lifespan.

    Edit: http://www.spyderleatherworks.com/

    She was suggested to me by Woodcraft when I needed repairs on the ye olde set I'm using. Repaired them beautifully, AND did brilliant work on my AGV suit.

    He might be good but he is also impossible to get a hold of. He does not answer the phone or return phone calls.

    Re: Names on leathers

    I would suggest Spyder as she is a contributor/moderator? at the ccs forum and on the wera too I believe and everyone seems happy with the work. You could probably post on ccs and ask her for a quote!

    If you end up shipping the leathers take out all the armour. It'll save shipping weight.

    I am going to go with here.I like her work. I think I am going to have her make something up for me in a patch form and have some one in CT sew it on my suit.

    My old man just bought a 4 bedroom cape with 6 acres of land just off of north road in epsom. You know the place on rt 4 that sells the jeeps. Take that road and then chestnut pond road.

    Where is this place you speak of for 70000 with 6 acres in epsom? I am very interested.
