Ribbing repair service?

Gentlemen,

I recently purchased a vintage RMC leather jacket from Japan, and I’ve just discovered that the cuff ribbing inside the left sleeve is damaged. Do you know of any reputable places in the US where I could send it to have the ribbing repaired? Since this is my first time needing such a service, I’d greatly appreciate any insights or recommendations you can offer!

Is this a flight jacket, such as an A-2 or G-1? If so I would buy a new set of knits and have them all replaced. Mash Japan has a great selection of all wool knits for flight jackets.

And Dena at Great Leather is a favorite around here for any kind of jacket repair or tailoring.

Thank you, Sir. It is a Hercules style jacket. I am going to order a new set of cuff knit and get them replaced. Thanks again!

I have not used their repair department but US Wings offers different services such as knit replacement.
