what a day

[dr greg]

Yes indeed, first I picked up this hard-to-find black jacket for $15, then the dinkum 1945 jungle issue Aussie digger dax for $4, the gods were smiling when I did my rounds this day, people! (not that they'd go together, but still...)

Gorgeous jacket, dr greg! I wish I could find one just like it when I make my rounds. :eusa_clap

Do you have a picture of its back?

Couch

I know a guy who's currently serving in the ADF by the name of Couch- not exactly common- interesting....

Hey did you see "Kokoda" on TV the other night? Scary stuff. What a terrifying, messy time that was.

The belt is missing unfortunately, they are VERY hard to find, the thing is as stiff as a board though, I'll need to get my special mixture on it right away.
Windsock:I saw KOKODA on the big screen, nice effort, but missed the big picture I think, which was a pity, although they did very well for the small budget..it was shot not far from my place.

MY cousin married a guy called Couch.

That Peckards stuff the guys talk abou might help.

General Question:

When leather gets dry "like cardboard" as my cobbler calls it he says it is past re-hydrating and tears. Can any of these products re-hydrate "cardboard" style leather.

tears before bedtime

It already has a small tear, but I'll try my own formula on it and see what happens

Thanks dr greg!

I really hope you manage to get suppleness back into that old jacket and when you do, you post some more photos of it.

as requested again

One serious coat of my mixture and it's in good shape, maybe a drop or two of neatsfoot oil, and it's good as new, (but thankfully doesn't look it)

Ohh... I REALLY like that one! I'm getting slightly green around the nose with envy here.

Cheers,
