submaniac Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I found someone who is able to work with leather and make a set of pants (umm..."trousers" to you British). But she needs the material, and I need to know where in BKK I can find a place that sells fabrics and leathers. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find the best choices of different grades animals etc there. You will need to go outbound on Srinakarindra as far as it goes to the old sukhumvit road turn left and ask the first motorcycle taxi group you come to. By the way the stench is terrific don't go if you have a weak constitution. Tony's Leather on Surawong makes leather pants to order. I tried some many years ago and gave up because of the heat. You're better off using chaps or even kevlar jeans from Paddock Safe miles, big smiles AjarnP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These won't be for use in Thailand, but in the colder climates of California and Nevada. I already have a pair of leather chaps (which I will be using more often anyways), but just wanted some full leather pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 There is a leather shop making all kinds of to order clothing as soon as you enter Soi 1 from Sukhumvit Road. They would probably be able to do the whole thing with much less hassle but no idea about the price. The shop is on the left as you enter the soi and is the first shop from memory barely 5-10 yards inside the soi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewart479 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Hi! There is a bunch of small Leather merchants off Suapa Road; Pomprab (seems like ChinaTown to me),go up Chaokhamrop and you will find them. Check that your freind has suitable Machinery for leather before buying any.Better yet; send me your favorite pair of jeans,I will replicate them ;and bring them Bkk November 25! ( its what I do) Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea where I can get meself some tanning chemicals around BKK? Regards, Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
