Thank you Dover....a lot of great people on here with advice as to the care and preservation. Thank you, I will pass on your heartfelt thanks to my FIL.

He was in Framlingham. And thank you, I will pass on your pat on the back and buy him a beer for you!

I have printed out your post and will follow your info.

Unclegrump, I thank you for the compliment, we truly support our military and have had many family members serve. It is an honor for us to keep this and preserve it along with the journals and stories he has given us. I will ask about the name patch and I also will look into a better way of...

You guys are all great and I so appreciate all the advise. I am amazed that we don't really have EXPERTS with tried and true info out there. So much trial and error and with some great items of history that could be damaged to the point where we can't bring them back. I am pleased to see so...

Unclegrumpy, read the post from the link you gave and I would just leave it but it is getting stiff and don't want it to start cracking. I have it hanging on a wide shoulder hanger and think I need to slightly stuff the sleeves because they are starting to crease. Before I do anything I will...

Hi, thanks for the quick responses! Thanks for the welcome Steve! First time really using a forum so I am trudging along here, bare with me. Jay, I will order some of that Renapur and Tim, I would love any info you can get for me on keeping the artwork conditioned and well. Not sure how to pm...

I have read through these forums and there are so many threads and I can not find the info I am looking for. We have my father-in-laws leather bomber jacket and have used picard to condition it. My concern is that the large artwork on the back, I have lightly conditioned it but don't want to...
