Is seems every deal hunter thinks if they find anything HD it a worth big cash on a flip. Not saying that is the case here bu most often that is what these post are.

I and not you appraiser. Trying to make a buck you do the leg work. Now if a member that rides ask a question that is another madder.

As I said, in this instance it was trying to understand what I had been bought. Not flipping this one - it's my keeper!

Fishtwig,

I think your really looking for a fur collar. You might just want to take it to a good shoe repair, seamstress, leather clothing repair shop. Even if they can't get or make you what you want, maybe they can suggest someone.

FWIW, I recently had a leather Fighter Pilot/Biker type jacket (what is the right word??) that I started my riding life with 40 something years ago repaired. A few new zipper or pulls or 2. many seams restitched and a good polishing. $350 at a shoe/leather repair shop....Maybe I shoulda just bought another new jacket. But....I really wanted to wear THIS jacket again!!!

Tom
