Awesome job! Looks great. It also creates the option of choosing a different cover color/material.

For those less diy inclined, a good cobbler can also do the job.

The cobbler I went to declined to try it. He did ask me to bring it back when I was done (which I will do, since I have three more saddles I can cover!). Some issues are that this saddle (and I assume others) have more concave surfaces than I expect a shoe might have, and the saddle is one piece of leather, not multiple stitched together).

I did another saddle with a blue marine vinyl, but it was too thick and I was not able to wrap it around the bottom as neatly.

My cobbler grew up in the Netherlands....probably makes a difference.

Very nice!! I’ll have to keep this in mind given that the saddles i prefer are either pricey or discontinued / hard to find (or both).

Edit, I also have one that I don’t particularly like, but if it had a cutout and less padding in the nose, might be a decent road saddle. That will be another project

Nice work! I’m trying to recover a couple old ISM saddles and will need to find a new cover as the stock pleather is shockingly poor quality. I have trimmed the plastic base down in the attempt to get more contact with the saddle, gaining more surface area and reducing hot spots. (Can be verified with a GeBioMized pressure mapping test.) Anyway are your services available for the recovering process or is this a service that you’ve thought about offering to the public?

My wife joked about my new job opportunity, but I'm an amateur at best. My only experience is with this particular saddle, so I have no idea what would be involved in covering a different model (how easy does the cover come off, can the new cover be stapled to the saddle body, how hard is it to mold the leather to the curves, etc.).

Anyone who is half-decent at DYI stuff can do this, following the steps at that URL and given a few simple tools and an appropriate adhesive (note I didn't use the same one).
