“The world of vintage garments was an unfamiliar area to me, but it swiftly became something that I identified with and was identified with. The story all began when I grew up with a fascination with aviation, from video games to movies, to eventually carrying around a teddy bear with a remarkable leather coat, stitched with an unforgettable fur collar. Several years ago, my world and knowledge of vintage garments, specifically leather jackets, would greatly change. I remember browsing around for “flight leather jackets” and came across this beautiful “USAAF Shearling Jacket” and instantly fell in love. I was a bit hesitant at first because it was my first big purchase, so I decided to send a message to the seller. This was our first interaction, where I met the remarkable founder of ReviveRestoreVintage, Leigh. Right from the start, I knew Leigh was without a doubt, someone who had a magnificent passion and devotion to this remarkable world. From pleasant conversations on the history behind some of his remarkable coats, to sharing knowledge about their cleaning processes, I quickly became fascinated by his dedication and knew I wanted to build a long-lasting friendship. Throughout these past years, Leigh, his wife Evita, and his team have been absolutely wonderful, from their expertise in leather garments, to the handling and care of their products, and shipping their garments with immense diligence, they are truly extraordinary. I continue to look up to his admiration and love for vintage leather garments, which made a large impact on who I became in the years that followed our initial conversation. I always imagined as a kid that one day I would find “that” piece that matched the fascination I associated with this memorable teddy bear, and from the many garments I have collected from Leigh, especially this Diesel Heritage Jacket, I can confidently say I have found that fascination.”

“Jacket is in excellent condition. Love it! Also purchased the conditioner.”

“I was simply blown away by this Jacket. From the supple leather, to the dark golden shearling, every detail screams quality. The feel, the look, the smell everything top-notch. Leigh was hands-on through the entire purchasing AND delivery process and I was never in doubt, that it was hist top priority to make sure the jacket arrived in perfect condition. If you are hesitant to pick up one of his pieces of historic wardrobe, then I'd advise you to make a move, you won't regret it.”

“Exactly as described and beautifully presented. I was a bit nervous buying a coat like this online, but when I opened the box I was honestly blown away. The leather has real age and character you just can’t fake, but it still feels clean, strong and wearable. A fantastic piece and a pleasure to own.”

“One of the best vintage leather workshops I’ve come across. Properly restored jackets that deserve to be preserved, and packed with real care.”

“Delivered in 36 hours which surprised me. I had a couple of questions before buying and communication with Leigh was easy. Jacket was packed up carefully and looked even better than I expected when I opened it. Lovely leather, great work done on it, very happy with the whole thing. Highly recommended.”
