Adding zipped vents to leather?

I did a few searches and didn't come up with anything. Google wasn't much help either. I found a leather jacket I'm interested in, but it doesn't have any ventilation. Does anyone have any experience adding zipped vents to a leather jacket? I figured I would ask here and also see if I can get ahold of any local leather shops to see if they could help me out. Thanks.

Check around the Harley places. You might find a name of someone to do leather work. Gun shops or horse tack shops also.

I've seen and been to a few shoe repair places that might be able to do this as well. There's a really good shop here in So Cal called Anthony's Leatherworks, they do all of the repairs for the Dainese D Store here in Orange County but it may be too far for you. ;) Good luck, I'm sure you'll be able to find somebody who can do it.

If you do have this done make sure they stitch in some mesh behind the vents to keep the bugs out.
