DPS Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 Does anybody know a sewer who could work on packs and clothes? I have some repairs and modifications and I don't want to pay Rainy Pass $75.00 an hour because they have F'd up every project I have brought them. Quote
JasonG Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 I wonder if talking with someone who works on sails or auto toggery would be a good option? Quote
tanstaafl Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 I haven't used these guys (this guy?) so can't testify as to quality, but saw their flyer on the bulletin board at Vertical World: https://highmountaingearandrepair.com/ 1 Quote

I went ahead and contacted them. They make a nice little alpine hammer holster I will have to buy too. My tool holster is too big for my little hammer I bring when I climb with leashless (and hammerless) tools. Quote
tanstaafl Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 Please reply back with how it goes! I don't have any need for them this minute but I'm sure I will in the future. Quote
JasonG Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 Yes, thank you @tanstaafl, great looking service. Quote
Rad Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 What's the difference between a sewer and a sewer? . . . One sews shit and the other sows shit (I have to pay $$$ to fix the latter recently so that shit is on my mind). Quote

I'm excited to see how the project comes out and I will report back. Quote

How can you tell the difference between a waste water engineer and a drinking water engineer? A drinking water engineer washes his hands after using the toilet, a waste water engineer washes his hands before using the toilet. Quote
kmfoerster Posted December 7, 2019 Posted December 7, 2019 I make a lot of my own gear and gear for friends as a hobby and I've talked a bit to Kyle from HMGAR a bit over instagram. Haven't dealt with him personally, but I get the impression he is passionate about quality work and climbing. Quote
DPS Posted December 28, 2019 Author Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) I just got my pack back and I am very happy with the work High Mountain Gear and Repair did. He added a Cordura crampon patch with two 1/2" webbing straps. The work is very cleanly done and professional looking. Also, he added a plastic frame sheet to the pack to add a bit of structure to carry heavier loads. He also built a custom hammer holster with colors to match my little alpine hammer.
