Photo AlbumRestoration of my jacket
This is the old lining. It's torn and has holes in it. ihad it removed.
This is the new lining ihad made from a light silk material. It is very strong. Made to same size as the original. Even the label i had removed and added from the old piece.
outside still in mint condition. it has been stored in a cool temperature
inside the lining has been removed. I carefully turned the piece inside out, and every surface of raw hide has received at least 6 coats on Dubbin
You will notice that there are some parts which have not been treated. This is where the leather has been doubled over (no lining). These zones i have not exposed.
Inside.
This area has been treated with Dubbin.
Inside.
This area has NOT been treated. It is still stitched and original. treatment may be required.
The bottom can be shortened by an inch, so that the jacket ends just below the pocket. This alteration is at your discretion.
If it can be done without damaging the piece, go ahead. You can then reuse this piece elsewhere as a patch.
Cut here
Right hand has a small tear along the seam. This is minor.
Left hand is the worst affected. It has several tears, and may need the extra piece from the bottom as reinforcement / replacement.
This area has not received any treatment and remains original
Dubbin applied to both pockets
