Hideout Leather - Alterations

[Steve398]

Today we went up to Hideout Leather at Ashdon in Essex to get my leather (racing?) jeans sized down to fit me after shedding a bit of blubber!

Horrible 2.5hr mostly-motorway drive up there with a lovely few miles of twisty C roads near the end. Hideout is aptly named, it’s a repurposed block of stables out in the sticks a few miles from the quaint town of Saffron Walden, quite a pretty place with tiny alleyways and all, but lunch prices were a bit heavy as it’s a bit of a tourist trap.

But back to Hideout - really good service, and nice friendly people who instill confidence in their work. The pants will be done in a few weeks, it being busy season of course, slimmed down to size with additional hip armour and some mods which came in at £195, which considering I was looking at more than that for an off-the-peg pair of pants which didn’t come close to fitting properly is pretty near perfect in my book.

Let’s see how they come out, but first impressions were very good.

You won’t be disappointed. Did you get your inside leg measured (if you know, you know)?

Is that the bit where you subtract the wet from the dry and add on 2” for the turn-ups? Ah, no… that was for the missus!

Great company with attention to detail and a superb service. I’ve bought various bits and had alterations done over the years and always been satisfied with the results. Kate, Rachel and the team are brilliant. Oh and the tea is always good too.

I sent a pair of Halvarssons laminated kacks to be repaired a few years back.

The postage was terrible expensive.....so to save me some money, they brought the repaired pants to the NEC on weekend of the bike show (as if they hadn't enough to be doing) so I could carry them back with me on Ryanair.

I thought that was very, very decent of them
