Ask about should be a tailor somewhere that can modify or repair leathers.
Try the web or ask in bike shops etc.

Or get em made to measure - www.scottleathers.co.uk have a made to measure service.

Had made to measure in past and they were crap after waiting 3 months for them.

Be surprised if they were Scott? They have a great reputation and aren't that expensive either.

I've got made to measure Scott leathers.  A lot cheaper than much of the fancy designer Italian stuff and much much better quality.

If you pop over to the Irish Road races, or any of the track races in the UK you'll see loads of racers sporting Scott leathers.

The two things I'd say about Scott Leathers, they are heavy duty so take a good bit of breaking in, plus can be bit warm on those rare occasions we get summer weather.  The other thing is if you get measured up (best to get measured by them?) be clear about what you want.  Most of the made to measure stuff they do is one piece racing leathers - I kept saying things like - maybe add a wee bit on there - I do wanna get a base layer and a thick fleece under there remember.    Race cuts are neat, for road use make sure you get comfortable not neat.

Got mine in 2009, should last many many years yet.
