Generally speaking, if you have an older black label nylon suffering from knit fatigue, is it ok from a value stand point to replace?oose said:6148th T.C.Squadron said:Nice jacket! question would it devalue the jacket if the knits were properly replaced?
I think the rip in the front and the replaced zip have done that already :twisted: , anything you did could only improve it!

I would say yes, for sure, as long as it's done professionally and using the correct knits. With a few exceptions, nylon jackets are not hugely rare or valuable so I reckon the best policy is to repair them well and enjoy them.6148th T.C.Squadron said:Generally speaking, if you have an older black label nylon suffering from knit fatigue, is it ok from a value stand point to replace?
I figured unless you have a real rare jacket, or a special owned by lets say Yeager, or Stewart, make it look great and wear it.Peter Graham said:I would say yes, for sure, as long as it's done professionally and using the correct knits.
