I have known David Sheeley for a couple of years. I met him through posting on this forum..at least that is what I remember. I don't know Dave's user name here or think he post much here. We started talking about Vintage Jacket restoration and other topics about leather jackets. He was already well known for his Military Jacket restorations so he has the chops. We started discussing making leather jackets. I consulted with Dave, sent him pics measurements. He ask my opinion o styles, sizes, leathers etc. I showed him new jackets I bought and he gave me feedback..he is a big Fan of the Monarch Brand. Monarch made Military and Civilian Jackets out of Milwaukee Wisconsin. I happened to own a couple of Monarch Jackets. Dave knows his stuff about construction and can identify and date jackets like an archeologist. I learned a lot from him.
I decided to have him re-line this All Weather police jacket. We agreed on the lining materials then I decided I wanted a detachable collar. He took great pains to get all the details worked out. He even sought out the proper snaps for the collar.
In the Video I outline more details of the work he did. It is superb as is Dave.
