Motorcycle jackets and trousers are expensive, and it is frustrating when a zip, connecting zip, lining or seam lets a good garment down. Golden Button can repair many everyday wear-and-tear problems on riding clothing from the workshop in Christchurch.
What we can help with
- Replacing main and jacket-to-trouser connecting zips
- Repairing linings and thermal liners
- Restitching non-impact seams
- Replacing hook-and-loop fastenings
- Mending pockets and armour pockets
Important safety information
Repairs cannot restore, test or certify the protective performance or safety rating of motorcycle clothing. After a crash or abrasion damage, the manufacturer's advice should always be followed, and impact-damaged armour or abrasion zones may need replacing rather than repairing. Golden Button carries out repairs for comfort and continued everyday use only.
Leather and textile kit
Both leather and textile riding gear can be looked at. Waterproof membranes may be affected by new stitching, which will be discussed before any work starts.
The photograph shows a genuine Golden Button vehicle-seat repair, included as an example of heavy-duty stitching rather than riding clothing.
Frequently asked questions
Can you repair my jacket after an accident?
Cosmetic and comfort repairs may be possible, but the protective rating cannot be restored or certified. Please speak to the manufacturer about crash-damaged kit.
Will repairs affect waterproofing?
New stitching through a membrane can let water in. Options will be explained before work begins.
