Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Leather glove repairer - any suggestions

Have a seam split on pair of favourite (& expensive) Hestras - should be repairable but will need specialist leather repair I suspect.

Any ideas fir repairers in UK ?

TIA

Not specific recommendation, but try equestrian/tack route as they are similar in skill set with high cost items and obviously working leather materials.

Alpkit have repair stations at some of their stores. They will repair kit of any brand, not just their own, in line with their support for keeping things in use rather than replacing items.

I've been happy with all repair work I've had done with them.

Great suggestions above.

After I bought some Hestras, I discovered they had a dodgy seam. The gloves were sent back to Hestra and repaired under warranty...so if all else fails, sending them back to Hestra for repair might be an option.

I've had reasonable success with some favourite Spyder gloves using carefully cut patches of black Spinnaker Repair Tape (PSP), ironed on.
That was to cover worn-out patches of leather etc rather than a stressed area like a seam, so it may not be appropriate in this case.

I’ve just had some stuff repaired by Anna Chapman, who runs www.mulchandthebrokenthing.com She used to work for Alpkit, but is now independent. I was very happy with her excellent quality work. Don’t know if she does leather repairs but worth asking. I have no connection with her, just discovered her via a recommendation on UKClimbing forum.
