I purchased this jacket from Rob (member ID Tattoo A2) in September last year. It was previously restored by Dr. Andrew Swatland in 2018.

Rough Wear Restoration by none other than Andrew Swatland

In the fall of 1987 I just had dinner with a new girlfriend (which I later married only to find out she was BSC) in downtown Seattle at Mama's Mexican food on 2nd. As we left and walked south for a nightcap toward the Crocodile Cafe where Kurt Cobain of Nirvana used to play before he was...

No fit pics yet. It’s just too hot to wear a leather jacket in here. I am 5’11, 43 In chest, and it does fit me quite well.

Incredible jacket with probably an incredible fate, most of the history of this old lady, alas, we will never know.
It's great that the jacket now looks authentic again. Thanks for these photos.

Iove this forum for such stories and attitude to historical things

Awesome--my old jacket! Good to see it still around. Steve's job looks great. Any reason to rework what Andrew had done?

What a ride that jacket has had
