BradB Report post Posted October 19, 2008 (edited) My Boss carried this bag in Germany when he started first grade and asked me to do what I could to fix it, he wanted it cleaned up, conditioned and any stitching that was coming loose redone. He has not seen it yet, I hope he is pleased. Some of the dirt and grime (I guess stains at this pint) would not come off, but then it is over 30yrs old also and from the look and feel of it when I got it I don't think it had ever seen any type of cleaning and or conditioning. The original stitching holes were a little stretched out so it was difficult getting the stitching to line up but I think I did pretty well. Let me know what you think! Before picture followed by after. Thanks for looking! Brad Edited October 19, 2008 by BradB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BradB Report post Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) Thanks Art!! I don't know yet, he has been in Germany seeing his Grandmother who is ill. I will be giving it back to him tomorrow, I'll post what he says! This is my very first repair job so I am hoping he is happy with the results. It should last him a good 30 years more if he conditions it once in a while, it really sucked up the Lexol conditioner.
