This lady does. She's very good, she altered my Crowtree made to measure leathers and she charged a reasonable price.

Only downside is that she lives near Reading, and so it might be a long way for you to go:

You could just do it yourself, it isn't that difficult.

Its a pair of Hein Gerick Leather trousers.
They are nasty 'thinned' leather, sweat shop sewn in Malaysia or somewhere.... the zip is stitched in with the gusset seam.... single stitched... with the lining.... this is not 'high quality construction'....

Any Sewing machine shops around your area?

There are Turkish and Asian stores that can fix them, but around 10-15 quid.

For some reason the mention of the nearest Cathedral city's name brings on appoplexy...
I needed to go to Buster's to get some engine paint today...
With 'err' fretting about these threads, I thought, "I know, why dont we pop over to Biker's Paradise, while we're out"
"Where are they then?"
She asked... now what I OUGHT to have said, was "Tile Hill"... becouse Busters, I tactfuly describe as being in 'Radford'...
Daftly I said, 'Other side of'... the city whose name we must not mention!
Took me over an hour to find out what was wrong, and why she wasn't putting her helmet on.... by which time, Busters was bludy shut!
But, I'll send her 'into town' tomorrow, told her to try the coblers in Abbey Gate...

Do you know why our fair city has a 'West Orchards'? The Black Friars built the Orchard, just outside the city walls, in order to justify them breaching the wall for an Orchard Gate.... thus pearced, they could admit visitors to the city, to attend the market, without having to pay the 'toll' on the Earl's gate!

It was a medieval Tax Dodge!

Oh yeah! Zips.....
