Turns out, I have a high Ph balance in my skin which after time caused my GB collar to crack and get really nasty ... so much so that I could see the fabric between the layers of goat.
I sent the jacket to FLIGHTJACKETS.COM. They were able to put a new collar on for me.
The only reason I didn't send it back to GB is because I wanted to make the collar a bit more like the Nowak or Kelso, which GB can't do, due to licensing, so I drew a template using lots of pics from here and this is the result. They did a stellar job and you can't even tell where the old stitching was.
I couldn't be more satisfied.



Last year, I had these new buckles put on to change the straps too.

Great job. I wonder if that ph issue is common. Would it help to pecard the collar more often?

it happened to my old Disney jacket after many years of wear

I have to say that they did a fantastic job of matching not only the color of the
leather, but the grain also!

Very nicely done!! If you didn't tell anyone, I bet it would be next to impossible
to tell the collar was ever replaced.

There is a saying that goes "You get what you pay for". And in this case,
you got as close to perfect as anyone could want to get!!

That is an AWESOME job!!!!!! Looks great and I would definitely be proud to own that GB/BK/Nowak hybrid.
