Hi y'all, I just was given my grandfather's old leather bomber jacket from WW2, and it's in pretty damn good shape for being 70 years old besides the lining and the stretchy material at the wrists and hip. Do you know a good place I can get those rehabilitated? I live in Los Angeles.

Sure, first pic shows the overall jacket, second a bit of the lining coming off around the collar area, and third showing the places where the wrist/hip material has kind of been eaten away.
