A good read maybe, but clearly written to deceive. I have a very hard time believing those patches are that old, but I am not sure it matters....even after the passing of years they are still copies.a2jacketpatches said:I'm not sure if he's a patch maker, there's quite a story explaining how old they are (60 years) but the sales pitch is a good read and his feedback is 100% positive.
a2jacketpatches said:Yeah, I didn't want to start off negative. But I think they were made more recently, like 60 minutes ago. So recent the fumes are still floating around and helped him dream up that colorful story. The art work is crisp and clean, but doesn't have character at all, no patina, leather grain, anything. I'd swear they were plastic shrinky dinks if not for the obvious pen denting in his line work.
