Actually a favor.
I have a 20 year old well loved lambskin chocolate brown A2 leather bomber jacket that needs to be restored. It is in good shape in that there are no holes, tears or such. The zipper, cuffs and hem are fine. It is just well worn and dried out. I'd like it re-colored and sealed, buffed or whatever they do to make it look great and last.
I got a lead on a person in that community third hand the presumably does that sort of thing. Just would like to have a better recommendation than a third hand referral from someone I don't know. I trust woodworkers. After all, I are one!
PM me if you think you can help.
Or, anyone know where I can get this done? The Internet is riff with conflicting information. Lots of leather furniture restorers, boots, saddles, chaps, motorcycle leathers, and such. But this is soft delicate lambskin. The ones I talked to don't want to do it.
I am NOT interested in a DIY project. This jacket is too special. It was custom made for me. I shudder to think what replacing it would cost.
