Great work. As a retired Navy parachute rigger, fond memories come to mind when I watch you operate your industrial sewing machines.

[@ahf5471]

I was a stitch bitch as well but on the USMC side. Did you go to school at NATTC Memphis? I know they moved the school to Pensacola in 1997 or 1998 (I attended in 1996). My school was mixed branches so it was Marines, Navy and Air Force.

[@andybell4329]

You'd never know, and that's probably the best compliment you can say. Another top job Steve.

[@onecuet]

Your addition looks like an original design. Well done Steve!

[@2THGap]

Love this project Steve. You've made the extension look like it's been there from the beginning. Cheers.

[@kongmw]

Fantastic work as always Steve! Wouldn’t have noticed the alterations at all if I didn’t know.

[@snudder.s.m.l.5026]

Ohhh that is a smart way of doing it, so it can't be seen and the design of the jacket looks the same 👍😊 Don't stress we know a lot of people wants your help writh things they love 🌹🥰 Big hugs from Denmark 🌹🥰💝

[@aserta]

11:59 looks much better than adding an extension to the end of the sleeve which most of these i've seen do. Also adds to the design, looks nice with that strip you're pointing at.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Not one person in the world would know you extended the sleeves…well I take that back, 8 thousand people know! 😂😂😂 Another beautiful job brother! Thanks for sharing!

[@GabeGonzalez]

Steve! I’ve been watching you from almost the beginning. I love catching up with you and your projects. I miss the old hammertime laser cut art piece you had. Glad to see you’re doing well and that business is booming!

[@rebeccaocker4506]

When u said what u did too ur thumb it made my legs hurt that’s a sign of empathy god bless you and your family

[@greasy7494]

I know what's like working with a bad thumb Steve. I lost one of mine at 4yrs old and about 4-5 yrs ago I sliced my good one length wise and boy I was a mess working with 8 fingers and 1/2 a thumb for a few weeks! Lol Nice work on the jacket it looks great 👍🏻

[@Paul_Lane]

I enjoy how you trouble shoot these projects and the creative solutions you come up with. Nice job.

[@catherinewhite2943]

Looks fabulous; love the symmetry of the two inserts.

[@peterhallock9486]

Steve was wondering where you were. Glad your okay! Let's continue 🥰👍

[@Hertog_von_Berkshire]

Good job. Reminds me of the time a friend asked me to lengthen the sleeves on a suit jacket. I'm just a hobbyist tailor but he put his trust in me. After pulling the sleeves apart, I found enough extra material turned in at the cuffs for me to work about +1¾". Had to press out the original folds then remake cuff pleats and faux button holes at the new length. Hardest part, strangely, was adding extra length to the lining. Took me a while to work out. Result was good and my friend was happy with it.

[@sharonh988]

Great job as usual Steve. Thanks for the video.

[@moonstarer55]

Great project and you’d never know that extension has taken place. Terrific job Steve…….shine on

[@GodzHarleyGirlStudio]

As a rider, I’d definitely approve this change! Perfect, Steve, as usual! Always love your humor! 😂Hugz, Tree

I like your laugh & sense of humour Steve!

[@danasixty5402]

Love your work, you never seize to amaze me Steve O have a nice day .😊

[@lundysden6781]

Suggestion, you could use a case/rock tumbler with abrasive stones to weather leather etc. before you add them on to work to get the look just right!

[@interact48]

Love your work Bedo , greetings from the UK XX

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Hi Steve 🙋🏽. It's good to hear from you. I hope everything has been good for you. Excellent Job 👍🏽. Enjoy the rest of your Evening.🙋🏽. WOW Steve that looks pretty painful 😖.

[@imm311]

Excellent video as always! God bless you and yours Steve! God bless!

[@CaptainRon1913]

Those older Schott jackets were the best. They made jackets for Harley Davidson for some time. If you've got a Schott HD jacket, you've got a collectors item.

[@ismetarslan7]

Hi Steve. Great job again. I like the way you think, no short cuts, no tricks and detail oriented repairs.

[@joserojas1532]

Wow you make it look so easy ! Amazing proyect well done!!

[@jessestyron6148]

It's a treat to see you work on all the different projects you take on, good stuff

[@AllieSheffield]

I am sorry you had a accident on your thumb, but you still did great job 👏🏻

Beautiful work as always Steve

[@John-km9ju]

Amazing alteration, Steve (but what's new LOL)!! I understand business is booming but take it easy, my man; you know that you need all of those 'digits' to keep doing these great projects that you receive.

[@kylezilke4921]

I had that same Perfecto jacket in 1985. I bought it from Sears for $130 and wore it for years. I gave it away as I got older and too big for it.

[@bej5534]

Another awesome video , thank you my brother !!!!!!!

[@RatdogDRB]

Nice alteration there. Good to see the thumb is getting more gooder. Neosporin is your friend during the healing process. (But a pro would use Bick4!!) LOL

[@caroharris6297]

You got pretty good technique’s up Your sleeve…ruff’en up the new added leather to the sleeves. Be well, get well 👍🏼

[@rafaelleon9485]

Great work .Chapeau .

[@tedhart7708]

Great attention to detail, man! Breaking it up with half at the top in back, and half at the bottom in front, makes it look like it was designed that way from the get go!😃👍🏻

[@Crackers2549]

Great job as usual Steveroo... I would have never thought about how you lengthened that sleeve at both top and bottom... Awesome ...Greg

[@mikeburton7077]

A difficult job well done Steve !

[@nicolestewart]

I can’t breathe! Im turning blue! But gosh that jacket suited you Steve 😂

[@cmiamt2007]

I wanted to see how the back turned out with the stiffener. Beautiful work with the sleeves.

[@marissia4391]

Thumbs up for Steve's thumb! 👍👍👍

[@Traderjoe]

Looks great! Very innovative way to add length to it

[@Thisbajabug]

Great work once again...

[@kenamaro3942]

I wondered how that was done..thank you..

[@1339LARS]

Great job as always!!!! Lars

[@bbrachman]

Steve: It is always instructional to see different types of projects that need different solutions. That is the secret to your creativity. At the beginning of the video, I try to guess how you will fix the jacket. I, of course, was wrong. A really elegant solution. If we hadn't seen the original, the extra panels would never be noticed. Thank you. (being super busy is what we call 'A Problem of Success')

[@mrctheotherguyfromboston]

Genius, absolute genius.

[@carolmccorry3053]

Hope your thumb heals soon, God bless Steve

[@rowlandmogaecho2272]

Who say the lengthening has been done! Excellence is the name of the game!👌

It looks awesome.

Молодец отличный мастер 👍💯

[@sammamn508]

Master class work!

[@safaa9654]

You looked pretty cool with the jacket xD

[@aserta]

Thumbs (out of all the fingers) to get hurt, suck the most. I stabbed my hand by mistake a few years back, lost some functionality in my pointer, but i can still type extremely fast on a keyboard because i learnt to work around it, but when i nearly decapped my thumb... oh boy. I felt it in everything i do, from using keys to holding a hammer or a box knife, even reading a freaking book was a chore. Opposable thumbs are the hottest slice since sliced bread and we really can't do without them.

[@eljeepguylife9360]

Turned out nice! 🙂👍🏽

[@johnhull2941]

class jacket great job steve

[@charlescastillo8870]

In the crafts industry, cuts and scrapes heal faster because your constantly in paint thinner, turpentine etc., it tends to dry them up faster. Keep the bandage off and the wound clean as possible. It comes with the territory.

[@danoriron4975]

Just to note: Sometimes a jacket can give 1-2in on the sleeves by applying lots of moisture and stretching from the center. Worth considering before making alterations.

[@csnelling4]

Perfecto job , Steve 👍☕️

[@kingofthekludge]

Out of curiosity, what kind of leather are jacket made of Steve? how is it different from the leather shoes are mode out of? Thank you!

[@marwanal-mukhtar2708]

Great work buddy!!!

[@gerrygoldstein4698]

Lols, “maybe in my younger years”😂 you & me both, brother🤪

[@bonniegrace6497]

You forgot to show the back where you added the reinforcement. AND what did you do about the lining of the sleeve? I only ask because I redo similar projects with fabric . Thanks, Steve. Love your videos and your smart Alec remarks. Lol

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

I didn’t forget, it was not that exciting to see also I added to the lining

[@bonniegrace6497]

@@BedosLeatherworksLLC ok. Don't worry. I'm OCD about the small shit. Sorry

Can you do a zipper extension? About 3 inches. Love my old jacket but love beer too. Thanks Ken

Anything is possible

[@sandcat731]

Great job dude

[@Thec0nv1ct777]

Question. I usually wear regular jackets. I purchase an Schott Bomber jacket from the 70s and ir was a long. The sleeves tend to fold and the material in the wrist area can actually be somewhat hidden and it looks like its just the leather. So Should i shorten the sleeve or just rock out with it?

[@ottf24]

Nice job

[@th3drizzl378]

worst case make them sign something that says this is what you requested and that its on the customer if it doesn't fit when done. this way they know for sure. I get you want them to be happy at the same time but at least this way you are covered in a case of someone not understanding that aftwards

[@rogerwhiting9310]

How is that sewing machine powered? It sounds like a jet.

[@michaelholt9350]

Great work! I was wondering if you do any work on KLIM textile mesh jackets. I have a 4xl KLIM induction Jacket that I would like to be made smaller to a 3xl. Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated. Thank You!

[@stamatisvasilispolikretis8614]

Can be made an extension at the bottom of the jacket…???

[@art1muz13]

That is the exact same jacket that I emailed you about a year ago. I installed a brand-new liner with glue. It has never been sewn. I tried all of these leather specialists across our beautiful, (U.S.A.), All were barely understandable and wanted 600.00 or more plus I paid the shipping. Suffice to say, I would like arm pads installed, and the inner material sewed. Can you help??

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

Which e mail did you send it to? Try again to [e-mail]

[@eclispeIDE]

I cannot find anything regarding cleaning the cotton lining of a leather jacket. I had a jacket "professionally" cleaned because the jacket smelled like cologne. They managed to rip the lining and it still smelled like cologne.

[@shockwavecity]

I've wanted a Schott perfecto for 20 years. I doubt I'm ever going to be able to spring 600 bucks for a leather jacket now that i've moved to Texas though.
