Like a tailor? Perhaps explain "modify" a bit ...

Most tailors don't work with 1000D Cordura.  But, I'm looking to cut a pouch down from 6 rows wide to 5 rows wide.

There used to be a shoe/leather/luggage/coats, etc repair place in Villa Park/OakBrook Terrace on Roosevelt Rd, Howards, which I would have suggested to check with, but when going by the other day, they are no longer there.   Not sure where they moved to or if they have closed permanently.

Congrats on losing weight? And want to keep something which is sentimental?

Otherwise, I'd think it's easier to procure a 5 wide unit, no?

Any good shoe repair place can do it. I had a place do cordura mag pouches , modify my blades leather belt sheaths. They also asked if I wanted to have custom sheaths/pouches in leather done just bring pics & what ever will be going in it & they will do it. nylon pouches & leather knife sheath mods were only a few bucs each.

Thanks guys.  I ended up having to get something else, but I'll keep the shoe repair/upholstery shops in mind for the future.
