    The leather looks exactly like my 70's cop jacket. Leather is very slowly showing character, that's a sign of good quality leather for Mr. Vanek. I just got the message that he finished the alterations, I hope to recive it next week. Great that you made it weareable again!

    I disagree. As long as animals are killed for their meat, there will be leather. Because it's just too great to be thrown away! A good leather jacket is just what you say: an ergonomic jacket that is comfortable. So I think there is no need to make fake leather look authentic as long as the...

    Great! Make sure you meet him in his shop. If you need help, maybe with translating, just let me know! He still remembers your mail. He was quite surprised when I told him that I know you and about the conversation here (TFL).

    I totally forgot to take pictures. Only the two in the post. On the table there are my jackets, the leather he uses for jackets (next to the measuring tape) and a lot of other stuff like vinyl and motorcycle seats. In the background you see chairs waiting for new leather and jackets they made...

    What was really special about Engelbert is that he is a very humble man. He's not sad about how things changed. It felt like it's not a big difference for him if he's making a leather jacket or a motorcycle seat. He has a pragmatic approach to his work, like a carpenter who's building a bed on...

    It was not made by them. The gun straps must have been the idea of a policeman. The gun was supposed to be carried on the belt. He said the jacket is not built with the specs they had to fulfill in their contract. But it is a great jacket! The leather is also different, not dyed through and...

    No, I gave up the custom jacket idea because he has no other leathers. Only the dyed though cowhide. He is altering the 70's jacket for a good fit and I'm happy with that one.

    Great jacket and a pefect fit! The leather has a nice, waxy shine and will look even better once broken in. So keep it, wear it and enjoy it!

    I asked if they could repair and reline one of their old jackets, but I think they would work on other brands too.

    I wrote to Engelbert Vanek last week and asked if they are doing repairs and about making a jacket for me. He replied that repairs are no problem and they have a lot of different leathers to choose from for a new jacket. And he's looking forward to meet me in his workshop and discuss everything...

    Yesss! That's the one. The story is that when he attended the funeral of a former Austrian President, he saw the jackets of the policemen on their motorcycles and he wanted to have one. So he got one custom made. Great pictures!
