Suggestions for a good Outdoor Gear Repair Shop?
|
I have a pair of patagonia alpine guide pants that I need taken up on the inseam. The cuffs are a bit complicated with a zipper,elastic,snaps etc. so I don't know if a regular tailor could do a proper job. I will just be using them for cold weather rock climbing. Anyone have good experience with a particular shop? |

Buy different pants. Rab and Arcteryx sell pants in short lengths. Modifying your pants will net you an expensive pair of poorly fitting pants. |

I have used Rainy Pass Repair out of Seattle and have been really happy with their work. rainypass.com |

Send them to patagonia. They'll do it. |

If you send them to patagonia, chances are they'll send them to Jim at Ripstop Repairs in Boulder, CO. He has been a designer in the outdoor industry for decades and does excellent work. Not the warmest of personalities, but that's not what you pay him for... |

Granted, those were new pants, not sure what the OP's got. |

My pants are used but in great condition. I will check out all of these suggestions compare prices and go from there. Now I just have to decide how I should have the cuff of the pants re-done. Something a bit more simple than the original that will suffice for cold weather rock climbing. |

Cut the legs somewhere in the middle, then re-attach them. This ppreserves all the fancy stuff at the cuff *drawstring, scuff guard etc), and if you need to, the articulated knee as well. |

I like that idea. Thanks. |
