I have a really nice light brown suede bomber jacket with chocolate brown elastic waistband, wrist cuffs, and neck. The problem is the elastic sections are a little stretched out and in some places they have worn out holes. I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how possible it is to replace these elastic sections and how much it would potentially cost? Here is a photo of the jacket to give you an idea.

A tailor would better be able to answer your question I doubt anyone has had this done.

Really? I figured it would be a semi common thing to have done considering the cuffs on most old jackets are the only part thats worn out.

Ill call a few places here in Toronto tomorrow to see what they say and report back if anyone else is interested in knowing.

yes it possible and shouldn't be prohibitively expensive because its not that difficult but because its uncommon it wont be cheap either
