The leather looks exactly like my 70's cop jacket. Leather is very slowly showing character, that's a sign of good quality leather for Mr. Vanek. I just got the message that he finished the alterations, I hope to recive it next week. Great that you made it weareable again!- Angel

Open Your Own Leather Jacket Company
I disagree. As long as animals are killed for their meat, there will be leather. Because it's just too great to be thrown away! A good leather jacket is just what you say: an ergonomic jacket that is comfortable. So I think there is no need to make fake leather look authentic as long as the...- Angel

Great! Make sure you meet him in his shop. If you need help, maybe with translating, just let me know! He still remembers your mail. He was quite surprised when I told him that I know you and about the conversation here (TFL).- Angel

I totally forgot to take pictures. Only the two in the post. On the table there are my jackets, the leather he uses for jackets (next to the measuring tape) and a lot of other stuff like vinyl and motorcycle seats. In the background you see chairs waiting for new leather and jackets they made...- Angel

What was really special about Engelbert is that he is a very humble man. He's not sad about how things changed. It felt like it's not a big difference for him if he's making a leather jacket or a motorcycle seat. He has a pragmatic approach to his work, like a carpenter who's building a bed on...- Angel

It was not made by them. The gun straps must have been the idea of a policeman. The gun was supposed to be carried on the belt. He said the jacket is not built with the specs they had to fulfill in their contract. But it is a great jacket! The leather is also different, not dyed through and...- Angel

No, I gave up the custom jacket idea because he has no other leathers. Only the dyed though cowhide. He is altering the 70's jacket for a good fit and I'm happy with that one.- Angel

I wrote to Engelbert Vanek last week and asked if they are doing repairs and about making a jacket for me.

Yesss! That's the one. The story is that when he attended the funeral of a former Austrian President, he saw the jackets of the policemen on their motorcycles and he wanted to have one. So he got one custom made. Great pictures!- Angel
