Hi! I'm a recently minted vintage leather jacket enthusiast, and have been lurking for a while without commenting or posting here, but now I am.
Is there a list or thread somewhere here about restorers of early jackets? I have an original M422a which needs help, and the serious players in the high-quality reproduction field seem to be reluctant at best to do restorations at all, given their time constraints making the new ones. I might be able to get the materials from them, but I'd rather not entrust my piece of American history to just any old tailor, if you see what I mean.
Thanks!
