Mine was very worn on the front when I bought it from the previous owner, probably from a ring or something I assume. Do you happen to know of a place that might sell smaller quantities to leather to replace it? All my local shops had told me I'd need to order/purchase a full hide to get a color that's even in the ballpark.

If you want the leather pre-dyed, you don't have a choice but to buy what they offer. But if you are willing to dye the leather yourself, Tandy Leather will sell you undyed leather scraps.

Super easy fix! I got some red marine vinyl from Joanns fabrics and a curved needle. I cut off the old red strip and figured out how it was sewed on and copied that. Looks brand new.

Just replaced mine today, marine vinyl. Just cut a strip, glued the edges under, and copied the factory stitching. Looks better than new, didn't take long at all.

Here’s some pics of moms handywork

Thanks to the poster for the Joann’s fabrics tip
Worked out great!

I have a few strips of red leather, enough thread, and needles if any one is interested. $25 all in. I can also distress the leather if you want. Gives a pretty cool look.
