Ok, on tour, I managed to rip out the armpit of my Humain SJ (ungaffed) Is there a good way I can get it repaired without it looking like a gaffed jacket? Or am I going to just have to bite the bullet and buy a new one?

Find a shoe shop in your area. The one I use does a great job as they have the machines to mend heavy material. You may be able to see that it has been patched up but so what... you get the "Rustic" hard working look.
Good luck!

Shoe shops are good, and I have sure used a couple in the past... but sailing shops are far better if you can find one in your area. Mending a SJ to them is exactly like mending a sail, with all the correct stitchings and threads automatically included. No need to tell these guys anything.

Thanks for the advice. There isn't much for sailing shops here in Iowa, But there are a few luggage, and harness shops that do repairs here too. (I'll see what I can swing, right now I just need the darn thing fixed, do some more shows and get another to use, and then use the current one I have as a backup)

I usually use the cobblers (english for shoe repairers). They have the machinery to cope with the canvas. I haven't had any problems and find they do a good job.

Yes Weasels act has been associated with a load of old cobblers for quite some time!

Weas did such a wonderful job in the 2 JailBreaks here in Fla. and packed the house at the Old Jail since it was announced in the paper 2 days before. Locals brought him small tokens to welcome him to the USA. That was a nice touch! The UK can be very proud of his efforts over here!
Take a look at his updated site...

I know,,,but its a shame he had to come back,,,,we thought we had got rid of him at last !

Nice site,,,

Cheers Mate (I mean Mr Kondini),

Thanks for your kind words. All that after I shave my head to look like you. As you are retiring soon I thought I could get away with filling the vast hole your head had left. Unfortunately I was caught out for looking 40 years younger. lol

Now children that's how you could end up if you take drugs!!!

Hey Wild Man Weas,
You best pull that Avatar or you'll lose your little Girly Groupies Fan club at the Old Jail that were nipping at the heels of your "Billy Idol looking Self" until I had to "Shooo" them out of your JailCell to carry on with Photos
