    Repairing Aero 1986 Leather Tear ?

    Thank you very much for this tip. My girlfriend says it’s not too bad now.. which is the main concern. I’m hoping by wearing it will continue to adjust. I was very surprised at how the colour returned to black. Leather feels soft again. Should I keep conditioning? Give it another layer? Or...

    Here is the jacket as of this evening. Cleaned, repaired and treated with some leather conditioner. Looks alright to me !

    I noticed this zip puller that had been fashioned out of fairly sturdy wire. When I picked the jacket up the bloke said none of the zippers worked - but with a bit of wd40 type stuff I’ve managed to get them going. I added a key ring pull to the chest pocket so that it’s useable. On the...

    No worries @Will Zach. In fairness I shared a zoomed in picture of a ripped piece of dry leather in my initial post. Didn’t look too promising!

    The chap that sold it to me was emotional as he’d had lots of great times whilst wearing the jacket. He was happy to see it go though as he knew he wouldn’t wear it again and knew that there were new memories to be made for the wearer. I just wish I took some pictures before I cleaned it up...

    Given it a bit of treatment. Colour has gone back to black / very dark brown. Wearing it now to give it a bit of aeration/sun. Will buff it up later. I think it looks great… bit small but all the more encouragement to exercise, drink more water and cut down on the cakes

    Thank you! It's a bit small on the waist, I can't zip it up. But - hopefully it will give me some inspiration to get some exercise!

    Repairing Aero 1986 Leather Tear ?

    A bit naughty as it’s still a little damp. Apologies for the rest of the outfit - I’m working outside / going to the dump etc … would normally dress a little better

    Repairing Aero 1986 Leather Tear ?

    Here you go guys. I’ve just picked it up. Still somewhat damp from being washed a couple of days ago. As you can see the patina is something else. This is 40 years of wear from a 60 year old punk. The jacket WAS black but a lot of the dye has worn away to reveal the brown. The repair has been...

    The jacket has been repaired… But I may seek further restoration. Here are some photos taken by the lady who repaired it. I will get it home and take some photos - could do with some leather treatment too as I think I’ve knocked some of the oils out whilst trying to remove the grime
