I have a track suite that some of the stitching came apart after an incident. I was wondering if anyone knows of a place that can fix it around Hamiton or the western GTA.
Thanks.

This is Ivan's shop that his daughter took over, isn't it?
going back through some older posts, these guys are well respected.I'll say this one more time. Bickle is the man.
Doc specializes in pirate gear and fetish apparel. He wouldn't be my first choice.was yrs ago a place called Doc's as well they had leather repair. it's a little foggy to me but i'm sure someone on the older side of age will
remember it.
Don't know if they still do leather repair or sales only

Ivan used to have a leather shop on Queen West and was the "Bickle" of the 80s and 90s. He had an old ice cream truck with a sewing machine in the back that he would take to race weekends and do on site repairs.
When Ivan died, his daughter took over, and got the hell out of the rent hell that is Queen West.
I'm quite sure they can do simple repairs to a track suit. Ivan used to custom make race leathers for a lot of the local racers... and cut and sew them in the back room in the Queen West shop... not take your measurements and send them off to some distant offshore sweatshop like they do now.
Next time you're talking to John Bickle, ask HIM about Ivan and Ivan's work.
He was the Canadian go-to guy for flat trackers. Top quality stuff.Ivan custom-made a pair of riding pants for my wife when we first started riding. He wasn't quick, but he was good. Great quality. It's held up for 20 years.
RIP.
