Can anyone recommend or know of a reliable place that will repair/replace the leather inside knee in riding pants? Have a pair that the leather has perished but otherwise still in great nick. Seems a shame to throw them out but can't seem to find anyone locally (Darwin) that can do the job. Have tried a shoe repair place & local seamstress but neither seem to have the right gear to do it or want to do it laughing

it might be worth trying a leather shop (one that sells all those no brand leather jackets etc). they might be able to do it/know of someone who can.

took me ages to find anyone in perth willing to do riding pant repairs

Try a horse saddle maker or repairer? or a furniture Upholsterer .

Thanks...good suggestions. Not many leather shops in Darwin but maybe try upholsterer or saddle maker. Cheers
