Rukka - Reconditioning

[RichieS]

I have a Rukka suit which is about 5 or 6 years old. I clean and reproof it with wash in Nik Wax stuff every 6 months, but i was wondering if there was a company, or Rukka themselves, that will give it a PROPER wash and recondition and maybe replace some of the velcro which is getting a bit worn. Some of the armour is beginning to slplit as well and i want to replace it with their fancy new stuff.

Any ideas or contacts. Dont really fancy shelling out thick end of 2K for a new suit, no matter how good it is

Try Chris at Nine Lives clothing as he should be able to help. I've just recently asked the same thing of him for my Rukka that is 10 years old and needs a couple of small repairs and velcro replaced at the waist. He's on www.ninelivesleathers.co.uk

+1 for nine lives.

I went to them after my suit came back from Rukka themselves. He fixed the problem and remedied a mistake they made.

And it took about one week rather than 12...

Here's another option. Used them for a textile HG jacket. Brilliant!
