- This old jacket had some issues we had to deal with. Replaced couple of worn out panels. Once we took it apart, it was apparent that it needed more work then planned. As usually we had to do what we had to do.

Your talent is worth every penny. Restoring a jacket like this is a priceless in my opinion.
Still find it "Jaw Dropping," watching you take apart anything, and do it with complete confidence in knowing you can make it better ! Thanks for the video Steve !
A true craftsman won’t let poor work pass through his shop without fixing it. Especially a craftsman of your caliber. One can see you have passion for your work. Great repair and great video. One could even say you restored that jacket.
Hi Steve! 👋 I love my leather A2 jacket. Great project, well done. I knew you would replace the zippers! Cheers buddy.
What a beautiful repair for a much-loved jacket that's seen many miles over two generations. It's now in great shape when it's passed on to a lucky 3rd generation rider!
Love the story about the roofer and upside down roof tiles.
Steve, that's a great point about not doing something you normally wouldn't do at a customer's request. Then you'd have stuff out there that wasn't up to your standards and no one would know the customer insisted you do it that way. You'd be the guy who slapped patches on through the liner. Great work. I knew you'd replace the zipper.
Such a joy to see a talented person make something with their hands.
Awesome eye and hand work 👍🏾👍🏾 The level of craftsmanship is always “A1” and nothing less than 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I so love your work. It is a real privilege to watch a master craftsman. Thank you
What a great repair to a piece of family history. It's seen many, many miles, and many countries......hope it sees many more. Great job Steve, as usual!
The amount of experience and confidence you have in your work is amazing.
Your patience level is commendable
That's some mind-blowing craftsmanship.
I really appreciate that you take the time and effort to do things "the right way", it speaks to your integrity as a craftsman and a person. Fantastic job, as expected.
True that! It also speaks to his wife's integrity when she bakes cookies....and changes the cat litter....and brings him a beer....what the fuck ever
You never seize to amaze me , outstanding Craftsmanship . Steve O 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Beautiful work! I have over 50 years as a professional seamstress. Specializing in alterations. My work ethic is the same as you. Do it right!
Holy smokes. I bet his reaction was priceless, just like your work, your ethic.
I've known Steve through my grandfather for the better part of 20 years, I've also known many masters of their trades, but have yet to find or know one that is truly on path to be better with each project the way Steve is. Amazing human being with a passion to be a better craftsmen with each project.
I had a black leather jacket which I bought in Switzerland and at one stage it was staining my shirts' collars. I was almost giving up on it, until I saw what Steve does. I tried it out buy dyeing the jacket and wall!👌
Loved the way you kept the patina of the old but improved it with new stitching and panels. Looks loved and cherished. Great job.
Another amazing repair 😃😃 great to watch a skilled craftsmen at work and specially one that actually cares about the proper way of doing things!! 😃😃
Bless you, Sir. This one really pulled on my heartstrings. I don't know the owner of the jacket but I am so thankful that you went above and beyond for him.
WOW!!! I would not have thought it possible to rescue this vintage jacket. Great job here by a real craftsman who really cares about the quality of his work.
Vent elastic--who knew? :) Brilliant work. I love watching you make magic with leather.
I love that it kept that worn look to it. So much history in that jacket. I bet the owner was blown away by the restoration.
That’s the sign of a masterfully done restoration. You can’t tell where the new leather is. Amazing matching the new with the old. The guys gonna love it.
Love the sound of the sewing machine! Even got a couple of seconds of “hammer time”😘
Steve been my constant friend through all the lockdown of 2020.. I truly love his sense of humor his kind and genuine personality... kept me sane!!! I’ll remember Steve for all my life
Wow! This is extremely educational! You are certainly a true craftsman.
Steve 👍 really enjoyed the leathers restoration. Two thumbs up!!.
you have given that jacket a new life. 👍
I very rarely watch your non-footwear videos, mainly because I dislike Lois Vuitton bags, but it’s nice to see the same care and attention paid to a leather jacket.
You always make it look easy (I know it’s not) I was laughing and answering you when you said “Did you think I was going to leave the old zipper in” I said “of course not” hahahaha
Love the sound of leather. Great video.
Excellent clean work! Been doing this same work since 1980.
I love that he gave the back story of the jacket
Just for what it's worth...in the spring of 1970 I bought a brand new Brooks leather jacket for $40 a Bell helmet for $35 and aTriumph trophy 500 was $1100. I still have the horsehide gloves that were$10. I appreciate your work!
You are through, detail and super considerate. I have a project that I will have you work on. You are the boss! Love what you do! You are the BEST!
I had a hard time imagining how that jacket could be restored because it was in such rough shape, but wow… somehow you made it look new while still maintaining its history. Gotta love watching a master craftsman at work.
I knew you'd replace sipper. You're a perfectionists! Love when work is done right. Great job 👏👍👌
Very, very impressive to see quality & dedicated craftsmanship & pride in custom work detail!!! My first time watching you work! Hats off to you for being an ethical, high quality craftsman!!!
This man is a jack of all leather trade no one comes close to what he can do love seeing his vídeos.
That was worth every penny and then sum , Great workmanship !!!!
Hi Steve 🙋🏽. This is another Awesome Job ‼️. Have a awesome day 🙋🏽.
I can't believe how quickly 22 minutes just passed, I was completely engrossed in your fine craftsmanship. The result is visually stunning but also the safety benefit the customer has now derived has made his $450 even better value if he is ever unfortunate enough to be sliding across the tarmac his jacket will stay in one piece to protect him, like it should.
Quality workmanship 👌
That was very good. When I think of a favourite leather jacket that I gave to the charity shop as I thought it couldn't be brought back to life. I should have sent it here ! These repairing skills are the ultimate GREEN skills, as they help to prolong the life of shoes and coats.
Stickler for detail, as usual. Exactly what I need after a mediocre day. Sharpens me up. Great video.
“Did you think I was going to leave the old zipper there?” I think anyone who has seen your past videos and amazing craftsmanship knew that you were going to go above and beyond as always and replace them! Lol. Amazing work as always!!!!
That jacket is certainly well worn. Seen a lot of miles too. 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘
Oh yayay! Steve’s got another banger for us. Jacket from 1974 to 2021 and beyond baby!
You're honest, you will always remain happy,stay blessed.
Dude, (Mr. Master Craftsman S. Bedo) I love your videos! Your commentary and attention to detail is awesome! I do leatherwork for fun. One day I hope to have 1% of your skill! Thank you! K.
Good repair! I loved the 'zipper' story and the things worth knowing about it! thanks for sharing ;-))
Top shelf work as always, sir. Thank you.
Stitching patches the right way! I've had jackets where the guy stitched through the lining...not only does it not look good, it can alter how the lining sits and leave it sorta bunchy in places. Didn't exactly ruin the jacket, but still...leeeeet's continue!
Very interesting. I like learning about the process as you go. I sorta wish you replaced that shoulder panel with the same color as the patch was. I liked it as an accent.
i can't focused and cannot stop looking at your watch very nice wrist watch .
It's 3:20 Arizona time and I'm waking up to a Steve video, it's going to be a good day! Let's coat-inue?🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL, from AZ as well and watched this just before work. Gonna be another hot one out here today.
@@bobfallis
But it's a dry heat!😅😅🥵🥵
Great video Steve.
I really like to watch how you battle with yourself, that you want to keep the job on budget and also profitable and at the same time all the little things that aren’t right and bother your perfectionist nature and tendency to do every job 100% right. It’s the classic case of mission creep when you repair things.. This is why it’s so important that you find a person you trust to do jobs like this and if they make the call that extra is needed to do the job right, you have to know as the customer, that it’s worth it in the long run.
GREAT work! i've lots of leather military and moto jackets and very happy to have found someone i know can do the best job possible if restoration is needed! will keep your info.
As always your amazing Steve I love it my friend great job can't get enough of your channel I could watch 20 videos a day of you God bless you and have a great week my friend.
God Bless Working Hands !
Great job Steve, I love your awesome work and attention to detail. Now I know how to properly stitch a patch which this is the first time I’ve ever seen it being done, thank you and keep sharing your educationally.AWSOME VIDEOS. Now for some coffee “LETS CONTINUE” 👍☕️👍
Keeping the memories (miles) going......priceless......lets contine. Awesome repair Steve. I had no doubt you were going to replace the slevee zippers. You are a master of your craft. AJ
Absolutely Great Work! I used to sell boyt luggage years ago. Sold Hartmann too. I think about 10 years ago, Hartmann bought boyt ..anyway...its been about 30 years since I was in the luggage and leather goods business. Thanks for the memories. Those zipper pulls were vintage!
Oh, yeah! That jacket has history!... Excellent job Master Steve 👍
So cool, I can smell the leather, I think the only reason I've owned mother cycles was so I can have a reason to wear leather 😎 . I took only one spill in all the years I rode and boy was I glad I was wearing leather. Great craftsmanship!
Beyond fabulous.
You are very clever.
To bring this jacket back to life is a miracle.
Australia.
17:13 ... it is moments like this that sets you apart. Yeah, we knew you would fix those zippers, but love the personality and genuine kidding nature - makes for a fun watch.
Such a joy to see such workmanship. Thanks for sharing.
I loved the analogy you used with the roofer Steve! Again Steve, nice work!
OLD LEATHER SMITH here, great job as always Steve, I still have a jacket I quoted and client said was 2 much, one of these days I will get the time 2 fix, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
I remember when I was first married my MIL was shocked that I had never ironed a shirt....actually I was trying to iron one as she and her mom, my wife's grandmother watched...grandma finally said show that boy how to iron a shirt lol. Well she took the shirt and said you always start with the yoke. I didn't know what that was, but apparently that's the piece that you called the shoulder patch. I guess it's like the yoke that would be put across the shoulders when you hitch up draft animals. Same shape and location. Anyway thanks for bringing back a memory of those two dear ladies standing aghast with their mouths hanging open looking at me. In my defense...I had a mother growing up...why would I have to learn to do laundry and iron I ask 😅 LOL
My mom taught me the same thing. Her mother (my grandmother who did laundry for white people in Alabama during the 1930s and 1940s) taught her the same. Always start with the yolk of the shirt.
I found your channel because I was looking for help repairing a leather coat. I really enjoy your content.
I threw away my seam ripper because it always got dull. Now I just replace the blade in my knives. My husband got me a regular size knife and a mini one.
Wow! I wasn't sure how nice that would turn out. Looks great and still retains its character.
He really couldn't have gone to a better place for the jackets "last and final repair". Alot of history and sentimental value on this jacket. - Let's continue ✌️💫
Beautiful work. A joy to watch.
That is so amazing, what you do. What a lucky customer to have this repaired by you.
Steve, I've watched enough of your videos to know that you would not leave the old and incorrect zippers in that leather jacket! I also knew you'd replace the back yoke! Your projects always leave the shop with that extra touch that goes above and beyond! As a clothing alterations person, I get it! Thanks for another great video!
Hi Steve what a wonderful job you did on the jacket, the story behind it is heart warming thanks for another awesome video god bless xxx❤️❤️
Great job.Cool jacket too with a lot of history & character.👍
That's so amazing Steve. This is the kind of video I pay special attention to. You're such a great craftsman.
You did a great job on this jacket. Your work was worth more than you originally quoted to us. I really admire your work! And thanks for the laughs.
Superb restoration!!! Amazing - looks better than ever 👍👌😎
So glad I found your channel. You make this craft very entertaining! I’m in awe of your skill and may try a thing or two but have no desire to do it all. Love watching the restorations tho. Keep them coming. Or shalI say…”Let’s continue!” 🤓
i have a nice Brooks it was gifted to me by a close friend. it is outstandingly well made of the highest quality so of course your redo simply amazed me. incredible work you are a master✌️✅😎👍
The Jacket videos are my favorites!
You are a true craftsman! It was a pleasure to watch you work.
I like the, "Did you think I was going to leave that zipper there?" I love these when I'm working in my office on my laptop, I watch these on my desktop.
Great job, as always, Steve and a truly magnificent watch!
I really appreciate the sewing. Skilled and enjoyed learning about elastic inside back... Helpful information.
Excellent repair work,and yes,I knew you would replace that zipper🙃!
Great job Steve!!!
You’re a great craftsman!
Love your attention to detail in everything you do !! 👍👍👍👍👍
Great work, always enjoy your attention to detail.
Enjoyed the video, you are a great craftsman, do it "the right way" is the only/best way to do anything. I have a Brooks jacket like that jacket, mine is brown but does not have a heavy lining like that one. Mine does not have that many miles on it, it too was purchased in 1974. My jacket looks almost new.
Your easily the best around! Fawless as always! Keep up the good work🔨
Been waiting to see another leather jacket
