This old jacket had some issues we had to deal with. Replaced couple of worn out panels. Once we took it apart, it was apparent that it needed more work then planned. As usually we had to do what we had to do.

Still find it "Jaw Dropping," watching you take apart anything, and do it with complete confidence in knowing you can make it better ! Thanks for the video Steve !

@TYMWLTL Месяц назад

Your talent is worth every penny. Restoring a jacket like this is a priceless in my opinion.

@Paul_Lane 3 года назад

A true craftsman won’t let poor work pass through his shop without fixing it. Especially a craftsman of your caliber. One can see you have passion for your work. Great repair and great video. One could even say you restored that jacket.

@porkorosso7885 3 года назад

Hi Steve! 👋 I love my leather A2 jacket. Great project, well done. I knew you would replace the zippers! Cheers buddy.

@Brian-Burke 3 года назад

Steve, that's a great point about not doing something you normally wouldn't do at a customer's request. Then you'd have stuff out there that wasn't up to your standards and no one would know the customer insisted you do it that way. You'd be the guy who slapped patches on through the liner. Great work. I knew you'd replace the zipper.

@robertschoen2836 3 года назад

What a beautiful repair for a much-loved jacket that's seen many miles over two generations. It's now in great shape when it's passed on to a lucky 3rd generation rider!

I've known Steve through my grandfather for the better part of 20 years, I've also known many masters of their trades, but have yet to find or know one that is truly on path to be better with each project the way Steve is. Amazing human being with a passion to be a better craftsmen with each project.

@ethan073 3 года назад

I had a hard time imagining how that jacket could be restored because it was in such rough shape, but wow… somehow you made it look new while still maintaining its history. Gotta love watching a master craftsman at work.

I had a black leather jacket which I bought in Switzerland and at one stage it was staining my shirts' collars. I was almost giving up on it, until I saw what Steve does. I tried it out buy dyeing the jacket and wall!👌

@lotsabirds 3 года назад

Absolutely Great Work! I used to sell boyt luggage years ago. Sold Hartmann too. I think about 10 years ago, Hartmann bought boyt ..anyway...its been about 30 years since I was in the luggage and leather goods business. Thanks for the memories. Those zipper pulls were vintage!

I very rarely watch your non-footwear videos, mainly because I dislike Lois Vuitton bags, but it’s nice to see the same care and attention paid to a leather jacket.

@Czechbound 3 года назад

That was very good. When I think of a favourite leather jacket that I gave to the charity shop as I thought it couldn't be brought back to life. I should have sent it here ! These repairing skills are the ultimate GREEN skills, as they help to prolong the life of shoes and coats.

@zefdin101 2 года назад

Great video Steve. I really like to watch how you battle with yourself, that you want to keep the job on budget and also profitable and at the same time all the little things that aren’t right and bother your perfectionist nature and tendency to do every job 100% right. It’s the classic case of mission creep when you repair things.. This is why it’s so important that you find a person you trust to do jobs like this and if they make the call that extra is needed to do the job right, you have to know as the customer, that it’s worth it in the long run.

@malcolmlane-ley2044 3 года назад

I can't believe how quickly 22 minutes just passed, I was completely engrossed in your fine craftsmanship. The result is visually stunning but also the safety benefit the customer has now derived has made his $450 even better value if he is ever unfortunate enough to be sliding across the tarmac his jacket will stay in one piece to protect him, like it should.

@chuckcts-v3460 3 года назад

Enjoyed the video, you are a great craftsman, do it "the right way" is the only/best way to do anything. I have a Brooks jacket like that jacket, mine is brown but does not have a heavy lining like that one. Mine does not have that many miles on it, it too was purchased in 1974. My jacket looks almost new.

@lynh4326 3 года назад

I found your channel because I was looking for help repairing a leather coat. I really enjoy your content. I threw away my seam ripper because it always got dull. Now I just replace the blade in my knives. My husband got me a regular size knife and a mini one.

@TgWags69 3 года назад

I remember when I was first married my MIL was shocked that I had never ironed a shirt....actually I was trying to iron one as she and her mom, my wife's grandmother watched...grandma finally said show that boy how to iron a shirt lol. Well she took the shirt and said you always start with the yoke. I didn't know what that was, but apparently that's the piece that you called the shoulder patch. I guess it's like the yoke that would be put across the shoulders when you hitch up draft animals. Same shape and location. Anyway thanks for bringing back a memory of those two dear ladies standing aghast with their mouths hanging open looking at me. In my defense...I had a mother growing up...why would I have to learn to do laundry and iron I ask 😅 LOL

@caroljohnson5879 3 года назад

My mom taught me the same thing. Her mother (my grandmother who did laundry for white people in Alabama during the 1930s and 1940s) taught her the same. Always start with the yolk of the shirt.

@James-3000 3 года назад

Stitching patches the right way! I've had jackets where the guy stitched through the lining...not only does it not look good, it can alter how the lining sits and leave it sorta bunchy in places. Didn't exactly ruin the jacket, but still...leeeeet's continue!

@novembermiss 3 года назад

Great job on giving this vintage jacket new life. As others have stated, I was surprised at the relatively low price for this job, given the work involved. I would say the repair on this was as much work as the designer handbags you've restored, and those are often double the price here. Glad you replaced the one panel with a color correct one too!

@artnandez 3 года назад

“Did you think I was going to leave the old zipper there?” I think anyone who has seen your past videos and amazing craftsmanship knew that you were going to go above and beyond as always and replace them! Lol. Amazing work as always!!!!

@Traderjoe 3 года назад

It’s great that you are so meticulous with jobs like this. You’ll go well over what you originally said and fix other people’s errors because it bothers you to know that other leather repairmen bungled a job that this customer paid to get done and you’ll redo it out of the goodness in your heart.

@trudyhorst3990 3 года назад

Steve, I've watched enough of your videos to know that you would not leave the old and incorrect zippers in that leather jacket! I also knew you'd replace the back yoke! Your projects always leave the shop with that extra touch that goes above and beyond! As a clothing alterations person, I get it! Thanks for another great video!
