Can anyone recommend a place where I can send my flight jacket to get it restored? The leather is dryed out and the collar needs rplacing.

Try US Wings. I was able to get a replacement flight jacket a few years ago and noticed on their web site info on repair as well

Flight Jacket replacement

When we went to the Aviation museum tour in Pensacola with Popasmoke a few years back, I got a new jacket and bought the correct patches from Allen Hynton. Jacket was a bit pricey, at about $480. then and that was 8-10 years ago, but it is the real deal just like USMC/USN issue. Besides, the new one fits me better then the circa 1967 one did.....:D
