Very well said!It all comes down to will you keep it? Connolly isn’t used anymore and is rare. If you think it’s a “grail” jacket and will be with you a while, then do it. There’s really no price ya crazy jacket guys have that makes something worth it or not, if you really want it. If you’re on the fence not certain then don’t touch it. Sell it. We always lose money that’s the name of the game. So I would take some time to really think it over. If you think the alterations will make it something you’ll have with you for the next 20 years then do it. Like I said no price stands in the way of things we love. But if you have to ask and are wondering I would say just let it go. Don’t get deep into the cost and then have something you’re just going to sell and lose even more money.
Many of us here are just one click away from buying another leather jacket right at this very minute. I think one argument against altering a jacket is the question of how many other jackets do you already own that fit perfectly well, and how many more might you buy in the near future? In my case, the GW A-2 I had altered fits me like a glove but I only wear it a couple times a year.
