Nexus:

Since you are in Chicago, contact Alexa (she is in West Allis, WI).  She does excellent work and lettering also.  Her e-mail address is:  spyder@wi.rr.com

She did some work for us and the results were excellent and the price was fair.

Try Barnacle Bill in Springfield, KY.

He repairs all brands of leathers plus makes custom suits at a very reasonable price.

His website is located at

Barnacle Bill all the way.  Fast service, and he'll clean 'em for you too.  Mine were torn pretty good in multiple areas, and he only charged me $75 for repair, another $50 for cleaning.  Oh, and he's a really nice guy also.
