Try Bridal shops or Dry cleaner.

Ride well,

Jim
What does getting married got to do with it?
You might try shoe repair shops, or maybe a bridle shop.
Pay attention and you might learn something. You don't go to a Bridal shop to get married. Around here the Bridal shops do the best quality, fastest, and least expensive work, and they don't sew your patches on crooked and pockets shut like some of the shoe repair guys.

Ride well,

Jim

How much HP and TQ does that add? Just get out and ride..........
If your not going to help (Which is what the OP asked for) than don't waste everyones time with this "Nothing" comment. We should be here to help fellow riders.





I would check the local yellow pages for shoe repair, seemstress, leather repair, etc and call around. I'm sure you will find someone.

My wife does all of ours. She uses a needle intended for leather in her machine. She is a perfectionist and most people think my patches are glued down! She really knows how to sew!

Check your leather shops, or even alterations shops sometimes will do it. Also, sportswear stores that sell letter jackets, etc. will sometimes sew stuff on for you as well.

I know it is no help where you live but I get a local Amish guy to sew on mine.

If you decide to sew them yourself don't forget to watch for pockets on the inside.

"Sewing on patches is simple and adds a secure, lasting attachment! Start by positioning the patch and pinning it in place, then use a needle and strong thread to stitch around the edges. For extra durability, double up your stitches, especially on thicker fabrics."

Back in 2016, when I joined this group, I also got caught responding to very old threads. Now I usually pay attention to the creation date and go from there.
