Just bought a 1963 Irvin Foster G-1 jacket

Very cool jacket and the fit is fantastic!

Here is my jacket finally a bit restored, I took apart the zipper, painted the green zip tape in dark brown and had it mounted again in a better way (it was badly stretched and the leather didn't cover it when closed), then replaced waistband and cuffs with japan Mash repros, and completed with a treatment with Lexol

Great job on restoring the jacket! Did you have it professionally restored by a company? I have a few jackets I'm thinking of restoring and will appreciate an advise on how to go about it. I live in the US by the way. Thanks in advance!

If you want to replace cuffs, you can find it on ebay, seller is lb4041j. Bought cuffs from him for my jacket and i am satisfied with quality and colour.

Hi there, after you bought it from the seller who did you use for installing it? Thank you in advance!

Hi,
the work was done by a lady not far from me that makes repairs of leather motorcycle jackets, I brought everything to her and she did all the work (zipper, cuffs replacement etc). She is not perfect but good enough for the job I needed. But I am in Italy.

Oh, I see I guess traveling to Italy would be a little too far for me, haha, but thank you very much anyway!
