    Leather jacket repair/restoration

    I obtained a couple more jackets from an eBay auction. A DSCP Cockpit A2, and a DSCP Excelled G1. Tell me, please, how can I remove those velcro tags on the A2? Do they simply peel off? Should I heat it with a hair dryer first? Any advice would be appreciated.

    Leather jacket repair/restoration

    Sent my jacket to Dena and GreatLeather. She replaced the zipper, knit cuffs and wasteband, fixed the liner, and cleaned the paint off it. Here is the final result:

    I ordered this: http://shop.nethats.com/product.sc?productId=90&categoryId=9 It's not exactly what I want. But it's close enough. And cheap. I'm going to Pamplona to run with the bulls in July. I don't think I'll wear the hat while running. But I will wear it walking around. I'll be...

    I assume that wool is crushable and fur not? I want a crushable hat so it doesn't take up a lot of space when I travel.

    Hello

    That's the only pic I have. I even posted it on physicsforums, which has, as you would imagine, a lot of scientists. And the object in the photo appears to be lab equipment. Nobody there knew what it was. Pulling the chain appears to move the lower tong. The tongs, it seems, are meant to...

    Hello

    Pleased to meet you. This thread will serve two purposes. The first, my introduction. Yes, I really am a physicist. I'll be finishing my dissertation in a few months. I'm a fairly old-fashioned guy. I like fedoras, trench coats, leather jackets. And I shave with a straight razor. I ride...

    Leather jacket repair/restoration

    I'd like to get a list of people and businesses who repair/restore leather jackets. Zipper replacements, liner repair/replacement, patching, stitching, etc. I've see Insurrection mentioned in this forum. But they are currently not doing outside repairs. And they referred me to...

    Why you love Bomber Jackets. (its bomber jacket season again!)

    Johnson Leathers. Hmm. I wonder how many other jacket makers I'll discover. I was a kid in the '70s. I enjoyed "Happy Days" a lot. Never gave much thought about a leather jacket back then - Fonz's or any others. Now when I watch the show, I really like the first couple of seasons. It...

    Hanger for heavy Leather Jacket

    $70 for 3. Kind of pricey. Where are they made? It says they're made from American maple. But that doesn't mean they're made IN the USA. I've been looking for some cedar hangars. I contacted one company and asked where they were made. They said that the wood was American, but they are...

    Why you love Bomber Jackets. (its bomber jacket season again!)

    Almost. It's not made in the USA. A2 and G1 jackets are a dime a dozen. Cockpit, Gibson & Barnes, Eastman, Aero, etc.... They all have them. And on eBay, you'll have no trouble finding one. However, look around at these manufacturers for the "Fonz" style. Aero is the only one that has...

    Why you love Bomber Jackets. (its bomber jacket season again!)

    Interesting that my favorite style is difficult to come by. Here's what I'm talking about; straight zipper up the middle, slash pockets, no front cargo pockets, knit cuffs and waistband, a real collar In other words, a "Fonz" jacket. Apparently, this style must not be very popular. Because...

    Darkening a leather jacket

    None of them are brides, yet. I sometimes question my alleged Irish heritage. I don't burn easily. I get red, but it turns to a nice tan. I love the heat. And I'm not a drunk. And I do prefer bourbon to Irish whiskey. I'm not hairy. And I don't like to fight. Except women. I only fight...

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I was issued a peacoat in 1983. I have no idea where it is now. But I've been thinking about getting another one. What's your opinion on the Schott peacoat?
