Awesome thread! Thanks for the walkthrough. I am been procrastinating on a saddle recovering project (the last step in my Park Pre rebuild) because, frankly, I've been a little afraid of botching it up. You've renewed my confidence!
Btw, I bought some leather from "The Leather Guy of Minnesota" who has an ebay store if you can't find any suitable donor jackets. Lots of remnants for decent prices, some of which may not be listed on the site:
