Normy,
You're right. A few years ago, for one of my birthdays, my wife bought me a leather jacket. It was made out of the softest leather you'd ever felt, with every stitch perfectly stitched, the zipper was smooth as glass. In short, it was a magnificent coat. It also cost over $900. However, our leather jacket is actually a work jacket, to be worn on trips where we may get it dirty or torn (s/o's and f/o's doing walkarounds, etc.) However, I'm sure the company would not at all mind your getting an "exact duplicate" made, at your expense, only this time, a duplicate made of good leather. Other guys have had clothing items made and I don't think anyone has been called on that. As for the zipper on your current jacket, can't you send it back to the manufacturer to be repaired? I wonder what the guarantee is anyway?

JJ, I've taken my jacket back to the uniform shop twice now: once for the lining ripping out, and once for the snaps breaking off. Both times the repairs were covered by the warranty and were free. They even shipped it back to me for free.
