mikebidwell Posted June 11, 2008 Share #1 Posted June 11, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi there I've just picked up an old Leica case for my IIIf Red Dial but it's need of some good TLC as there is an area where the stitching has gone. Can anyone in the UK suggest a good leather repair service . I'm loath to take it to Mr Minit . Best wishes Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rontr6 Posted June 11, 2008 Share #2 Posted June 11, 2008 It's quite easy to DIY, the holes are already in the leather, all you need is a needle and strong thread. Ron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted June 11, 2008 Share #3 Posted June 11, 2008 Wife di mine on Sunday :-). Easy with linen thread. see Stereoscopy.com - Stereo Cameras: Re-Stitching a Camera Case for detailed instructions.

imported_peter_m Posted June 11, 2008 Share #4 Posted June 11, 2008 What Mike and Rolo said, its easy enough to do. It helps if you use a small awl to open up the old stitch holes slightly before pulling the needles trough. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
