1) Eastman house A2 size 42 in dark seal goat. Best guess is this was made in the 90s. The pocket label is gone. Leather is seal goat and is thick, substantial and in good condition. Talon zip. Lining has some wear points in the left sleeve(watch wear possibly), right sleeve by knit, around...

Hello, I am looking for some suggestions on where I can get a jacket repaired. I have an older goat Cooper A2 in need of new cuffs. It may very well be not worth recuffing but I need to check anyway.
Thanks,
Pete
