Anyone have an idea on how to repair/replace the number holder clips on the back of the jacket? I have the clips, but can't figure out how to attach the new ones. I do not have any needles that are strong enough for leather. Any tips would be great, thanks for your help.

Find a boot/shoe repair place near you. They have the tools and knowledge to stitch heavy leather.

I needed a large patch stitched on the back of my Silhouette vest (Cordura-lined top grain leather) and the small boot repair shop charged me less than ten bucks to glue and sew it on.

Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately I live in the middle of Alaska, no shops near us like that in over 200+ miles. I did end up "fixing" the new ones on...we will see if the "fix" lasts any decent amount of time.
