Thanks you for the recommendation. I had a look on their website and got as far asCromford in London will do it but it will be expensive.
'typically to shorten sleeves with zips costs £200'
I am sure it would be a perfect job.

Looks like cowhide. Nothing of high quality but not the super cheap thin stuff you would find on a 100-200 USD mall jacket either.I recently bought this jacket used.
No labels on it so was wondering if you guys could help:
1. Identify what type of leather the outer is. Is this a cowhide?
2. Give me some feedback on the overall construction of this jacke. I don’t think it’s going to be anywhere near the brands commonly listed here but is this somewhat decent? View attachment 462173 View attachment 462170 View attachment 462171
You can try vinegar on the tarnish, rub hard with a q tip or something similar. Protect the leather with paper towels the best you can, but vinegar should not do too much damage to coated leather if it gets on it.Ok got an insane deal on a flat head jacket, only signs of age I can find is some tarnish on the buckles. Any tips for cleaning it that are safe for the leather?
Unfortunately I have no idea regarding the pattern.Anyone know if Aero Original Hercules and Highwayman/Premier Highwayman use the same pattern block? It's possible I may not completely understand what a pattern block is. I ask because I get the hanging effect on my neck which causes pain from the OG Herc. I had a PHWM that was a size too large but I don't recall the same issue, perhaps because it was too big. I think the neck pain comes from the square shoulders of the OG Herc compared to my rounded shoulders, meaning my shoulders don't support the weight of the jacket, only my neck. The neck on the OG Herc also seems to be set more forward than on other jackets I wear, which pushes into the back of my neck.
AMF Harley Davidson. Good 70s quality.Saw this jacket on sale near me, looks quality to my eyes, what do you guys think? View attachment 463394 View attachment 463395
I had no pain or lack of comfort with mine either. Maybe we are the exceptions.Unfortunately I have no idea regarding the pattern.
But I have worn the last few days my PHWM several times good 12 hours at a time and had no problems with it.
Any idea who the maker would be (as I saw that HD outsourced to several manufacturers at the time)AMF Harley Davidson. Good 70s quality.
They did but they don't now. Sorry about that. I just paid for shipping for an item I got from FJ/Rakuten and now EMS is available but declaring different value is no longer available.Recently bought from fromjapan and never had option to declare a lower value, only to mark it as a gift, which I don't think affects us customs at all.
The jacket reminds me of a Harley jacket. The leather looks much better than the Korean made ones.Saw this jacket on sale near me, looks quality to my eyes, what do you guys think? View attachment 463394 View attachment 463395
I believe it is a Harley. I am torn on whether or not to buy it…The jacket reminds me of a Harley jacket. The leather looks much better than the Korean made ones.

I had one in a 44' long and it was a nice fit. Mine was Korean made, thick and soft leather, actually nicer made (and material) jacket than the first release of AMF (US made ) HD jackets.I believe it is a Harley. I am torn on whether or not to buy it…
