[RBW] Re: Bag Repair in Seattle

2010-08-03 Thread cyclofiend
I can't say specifically for the Seattle area, but I'd look to sailbag
makers or folks who specialize in canvas work for boats.  I've had a
couple of Filson bags repaired here locally by a woman whose business
is the former.

You need someone with a sewing machine that can go through that
stuff.  Also, you might make sure are using waxed thread (or some type
of analog) so that the stitching doesn't act like a wick in the rain.

hope that helps!

 The zipper on my Hobo bag broke on tour last summer and I'm hoping to

 do that sort of job? Ideally in the Seattle area but I'd send it out
 to somebody if I had to.

REI in Seattle uses Rainy Pass Repair. I can't vouch for them but you
could give them a call.
