Photo2u - thanks, I would be intersted to learn this...

Contact me when you are ready. This is a good beginning video for sewing leather:Saddle Stitch Leather WITHOUT a Stitching Pony? - YouTube Please forward to 4:10 that's the sticking part. The rest, I will help you with tricks that I learned about doing heavy leather zip repairs. I got plenty of thread for your job I will send to you for free. You probably have the needles needed already. Nothing high-tech. Just plain love for your jacket. Terry, where are you? I thought you were in?

I sent the Californian to Dena and she replaced the lining and pocket pouches, adding an inside pocket. She was only able to lengthen the sleeves by about 3/8ths of an inch because there just wasn't much to work with, but I'll take it. She also found some buttons that very closely match the original as one was missing.The jacket will be in the mail tomorrow.

I’ve got a pair of IH N1 deck jackets on the way, one in khaki and one in olive.

I think I like the khaki model better but the numbers looked a little closer on the olive one. When they arrive I will see how they look and fit in person, I will also get the girlfriends input. One will be a keeper and the other will be returned.

Beautiful work. I was looking at the lining. What is it?
