Saddle knee roll restitching is an Equishop servicing service that repairs a knee roll seam where the stitching has come undone, worn through or broken. The knee roll is the shaped padding at the front of the saddle, where the rider's knee rests. Its seam follows a curve from near the pommel down the front of the flap to its lower edge. This stitching is under strain during riding, particularly in a light seat and over fences, and can become damaged over time. We carry out the repair at Equishop Service Centre, ul. Oświęcimska 9, Ruda Śląska, Poland. The price is per knee roll, on one side of the saddle.
Turnaround: within 48 hours of your saddle arriving at Equishop Service Centre.

Why have your saddle's knee roll restitched at Equishop?
- Repair rather than replacement. Damaged stitching does not necessarily mean the knee roll needs replacing. Restitching restores the seam when the padding and leather are still in good condition.
- Servicing for all saddle brands. We understand how different saddle models are constructed and how their knee roll seams are formed. Explore our full range of Equishop saddle services.
- Pay only for the side that needs repairing. If the damage is on one side only, you pay for one knee roll, not both.
- Familiar knee support. Restoring the seam returns the knee roll to its original position, preserving the support you are used to.
- Everything in one place. The work is carried out locally at Equishop Service Centre in Ruda Śląska, without sending your saddle to the manufacturer and incurring the associated waiting time and transport costs.

Safety and leather care
We recommend repairing an open knee roll seam promptly. With continued riding, the damage can spread, the padding can shift and knee support can become inconsistent. After restitching, clean and condition the saddle leather regularly, as dry leather can crack around the seam. Do not dry your saddle beside a radiator or in direct sunlight. Avoid attempting a repair with unsuitable thread: uneven stitching can stretch the original stitch holes and make a subsequent repair more difficult.

Frequently asked questions about saddle knee roll restitching
How long does knee roll restitching take?
We complete the service within 48 hours of your saddle arriving at Equishop Service Centre. Transit time in each direction is additional and depends on your chosen delivery option.
What is a saddle knee roll?
The knee roll is the shaped padding at the front of the saddle, where the rider's knee rests. Its seam curves from near the pommel down the front of the flap to the lower edge. It helps support a consistent leg position, so damaged stitching should be repaired promptly.
What does the restitching service include?
We repair knee roll stitching that has come undone, worn through or broken. Before restitching, we assess the padding and leather around the seam to confirm that a repair is possible.
Does the price cover one side or both sides?
PLN 390 covers one knee roll on one side of the saddle. If both sides need repairing, select “Both sides”, priced at PLN 780 before any courier charges.
Do you restitch knee rolls on all saddle brands?
Yes. This service is available for saddles of all brands. We assess the leather and stitching before confirming that a repair is possible.
How can I tell whether a knee roll needs restitching?
The seam may be visibly open, the thread worn or broken, or the padding may lift away or move under your hand. If you are unsure, send us a photo of the affected area.
Can I ride with an open knee roll seam?
We do not recommend it. Continued riding can worsen the damage and allow the padding to shift, making the repair more difficult and expensive. Addressing the damage early usually keeps the work simpler.
Where is knee roll restitching carried out?
We carry out the repair at Equishop Service Centre, ul. Oświęcimska 9, Ruda Śląska, Poland. The saddle must be brought or sent to us; we recommend arranging a date by phone or email beforehand.
Will restitching change where my knee sits?
The aim is to restore the original seam and return the knee roll to its original position. Changing the position or size of the knee roll is a different service. Contact us so we can assess what is possible for your saddle model.
