Can leathers be patched?

[Mike Qube]

A guy I work wiht just gave me a Dainese suit for free. The only issues with it is there's a hole in the back. Everything else seems good, all the stitching looks nice, it could use a good cleaning, it's just this hole.
Do you think this can be repaired? If not, it has brand new sliders, so at least I got free sliders.

HRA? When is he at the track?

Any recommendations on what to use to clean leathers? These have been sitting in a garage for a while and could use a good cleaning.

Heroic Racing Apparel he is at the track most if not all race weekends

Todd is awesome and I'd recommend using Lexol to clean your leathers. Also you may want to condition them as well, Lexol makes a good conditioner. Lexol.

Is lexol something that can be had in stores or will I have to mail order it?

[GNTurbo6]

I don't know who carries it in store but it's cheap enough on Amazon. Any kind of leather cleaner or saddle soap should be fine to be honest.

Is that gunshot residue? I think I know why they were free...

[Mike Qube]

I inspected them more closely today and sadly, I think they're beyond repair. UNder the logo on the back, the leather is really brittle and is disintegrating. I wish they were a two-peice, the bottom half is fine.

Maybe it can be turned into just pants! Bring it so someone who does motorcycle leather repair work and see what they say.

I was wondering if that was possible. They would make nice pants.
