I though about it recently. Probably a red label Cal. Because I figure, hell, the one who ends up with it might just get a kick in the ass to do something decent, save a soul, maybe even spruce up this mess we call a world. :)
I am looking for a jacket made from a teacore or brown leather, preferably 1.5 to 2mm thick, around 25" PtoP (plus minus 1"), 25" or longer length. Let me know if you have anything that would match that. Thank you!
Here is another way to fix the collar, make a detachable one. Here is the list of equipment used:
1. Singer 4411
2. Leather from the local store
3. 0.5" Bias tape with $10 bias tape foot.

I picked up the Taubers. Ametora offered a 15% coupon, which made the deal hard to resist. If it doesn't fit, I'll be happy to pass it along to another member.
I didn't know that, thank you for the info. My 1st impression was that it may be a water based silicone filler since it has little to no odor and washes easily with water.
Sanding it could be a challenge since filler remains flexible after drying. But 200 or 400 grit paper, when lightly...
Thank you, gentlemen. I'll update you on how it performs on the collar.
In the past, I used Angelus filler on a 1990s Al's CHP jacket I acquired from a retired CHP sergeant. It appeared that the equipment from his duty belt had rubbed against the leather, causing scrapes, gouges, and nearly...
I recently acquired an old Als leather jacket which was quite heavy at around 9 pounds. The leather was high-quality but appeared to have been overconditioned over the years, likely due to the misapplication of various leather lotions, conditioners, and waxes. The jacket was laden with dirt...
