Yes mate I know the changes in Australian manufacture.
Sinnika Leathers of Osborne park in Perth Western Australia still going.
The last maker in WA. Other forumites have had good dealings with them via my reccomendations.
They used to make the WA Police jackets until a "coupla" years back.
Maybe 20 years ago they made an exact copy of an Eastman Luftwaffe for me from my original 1990 jacket.
They took my original Eastman apart to reline it and copied the pattern.
Since then they have had a variant in their range called ' The Berlin" !
The original Eastman was cotton lined Horsehide that was proving too hot on many WA days.
The remake was a super well done job , but in black goat with very light lining. I still have and wear both jackets to this day.
I was in there just last year having a jacket "rezippered"
Oh and a 75 year old Catholic priest had me off my Harley in 2009 , me skittling down and around the road in My Sinnika "goathide Eastman".
Big swirly scratches on the back. A wash down and a treatment with Kiwi black Kids "Shoe scuff stuff" and she was right mate !
The Harley was "well fugged" to coin a phrase !
