Trouble is, it's gone in one of the shoulders and has lost shape.
The shoulder makes a scrunchy noise when you touch it or put it on and the leather looks thin (but think the problem is mostly on the inside). The body of the jacket is fine.

I suspect the leather may have perished, but an old fashioned cobbler, or repair shop (dry cleaners can sometinmes do this too )may be able to help.

As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the exisitng thread to give you more ideas.

Good luck with your quest :T

hi, i bought a vintage leather jacket from a charity shop and it wasnt until i was home when i noticed a hole in lower back of the jacket. luckily there was a leather swatch/ patch in one of the pockets. how do i go about repairing it. i know i can get special glues etc but how do i actually repair it without it looking bad.

any kind of advice would be great.
