I'll have to set one aside. Between travel and the band, my weekends are pretty booked. My bass player just had to have his gallbladder removed, so we'll be off for a bit. But I'll be in Fla.

Yeah - I put a zipper in mine last year. The guy did a fantastic job...but now the liner one's shot. I love that jacket...hate to think I'll have to get a new one for the cold snaps.

I love that jacket...hate to think >I'll have to get a new one for the cold snaps. nah, as long as the leather is intact, you can retore forever. you can even bring it back. my 50's greaser leather was dry and on the verge of disintegration when i remembered my grandpa's cure; neatsfoot oil. a good rubdown in and out and it was like the day i stold it. liners can be replaced....oil that leather and keep it forever. it even restored the case for my old uher tape recorder. >>>In article <mL7Of.834105$xm3.795463@attbi_s21>, Rufus <srollin2@mchsi.com> >> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > forever. > it even restored the case for my old uher tape recorder. Yup...the jacket's fine. Just need a new zipper in the liner. Don't know why they use plastic zippers for the liners. There's small enough metal ones out there.

And top coat. And... yeah, i got some dead cows in the trunk. as well as the 50's greaser jacket, 60's leather pants, 70's punker jacket, 80's new wave leather and post 90's f.ck you leather. after about 85, liner zips went plastic....much cheaper. >>Yeah, dammit...I had a really nice Schott's Bros flight jacket that I'd >>had since about '75.

The one I REALLY regret misplacing is an old Levi's denim jacket. It was my mother's during the '50s, and I wore it all through high school, with my uncle's WWII Army brass pinned all over it. It only had one pocket and silver buttons...just different enough to know it wasn't modern. Still have all the brass, but I can't recall for the life of me what happened to that jacket.
