Jacket Miracle Workers?
Just wondering if anyone knows of someone that can alter leather jackets. I recently got a Wested Hero jacket and it's great... except for the pockets. They aren't quite SA. Is there any way the pockets can be reshaped?
Thanks
Kyle

What do you mean? I've done reshaping of pockets with warm water and pliers, but you need to specify what the issue is. If it's making them smaller, your screwed, unless you like the look of stitch holes.

Agree with CM, probably a limit on what you can have done.

While we're on the topic, would Arrow be good for letting out sleeve length?

Re: Jacket Miracle Workers?
Definitely find someone who has the proper iron to remove the humps left where you let the material out on the sleeve. Good leather companies have them, and they're specific to the trade.

I should think so. They have sleeve shortening listed on their list of repair items. Give them a call or drop them an e-mail. I found them very easy to work with.

Jeff are you really the guy to ask about sleeves? I always figured you wear a sleeveless Indy jacket in the heat out there!

True enough I don't get too many opportunities to wear my jackets.

I've heard the pockets are different now, what's happened and what's to be done? I'm about to order a Wested..
Do you have a pocket picture to compare/discuss?

Re: Jacket Miracle Workers?
Are you sure you need a miracle worker? I'm pretty sure all they do is provide humongous pills that only a Guinness World record guy could take. I could in fact recommend a guy I know down in the forest. He made a friend of mine, named Wesley better again.

Yes, but your friend was only mostly dead.
