'Similar' relining costs here in Perth WA. I did have a real good job done by Sinnika leathers in Osborne park on my 30 year Old Eastman Luftwaffe.
However now I have so many jackets , and have bought a few for not a lot more than a relining job and some for less !
Sentimental attachments may still prevail , otherwise I would not do it again
Sentimental attachments are not all. Even if I have to pay $300 to fix up a $250 jacket, I'm left with a jacket much cooler looking than a similar new one that would cost me well over $1000. I would probably rather have the Brooks with a new liner than a stiff Buco J100 repro by whoever you wanna name.
