thanks all. Yes, I did looking US Authentic and at other folks for doing the work. I have someone locally who will probably replace the knits and re-do the lining and zipper for about $100 total once I supply the parts. She does A- work sometimes but I have learned that if the work is done during the slower times of year for her, she does a super job. I have a great Brill Bros G-1 wearer so I don't really want to spend too much on this other project. Thanks again
