Where in Leicester can I get new holes put onto a leather belt?

Self explanatory really. Sorry for starting such a mundane topic, I just didn't know where else to look.

There is one in the Haymarket Shopping Centre, near to the Clock Tower entrance.

I prefer using a Crop-a-Dile...... sets the eyelets for me as well as punching the holes.

Or buy a leather hole punch from a DIY shop for around a fiver.

Flipping heck. My last belt didn't cost that much!

A bradawl would probably do the job but a stitching awl is the proper tool for it.

There are other shops than Primark. And once you have a good hole punch, you'd be surprised at the number of things that need extra holes.

My last two belts were from Tesco and a market in Alanya.

Last 2 belts!

I reckon since I mostly park on Granby St. or Dover St. that my last belt was probably from BHS. Mebbe Blacks, if they do belts.

Did once try High and Mighty - tall enough but not fat enough for their belts.

I use a meat skewer heated over a gas ring. Edit away.
That is all.
