Ok my friend here's where to go. L.A. Harbor look for the Star of the Nile. Tell the captain of this tramp steamer , a man called Ahmed that you need to book passage to Cairo. Tell him you will be willing to help load the cargo and the fare will be many dracmas less.
Once under way and barring no pirate activity the voyage should take approximately 2-1/2 weeks. Bring plenty of bottled water and 2 ply toilet paper as you will find both in short supply onboard. Oh yes, also bring a large coffee can. You will know what it is for shortly after leaving berth.
Upon making port in Egypt you will seek out a one eyed, one legged, one armed, mute shepherd by the name of Lucky. You will use wild hand gestures to convey the fact that you need a camel to get to Cairo.
Seek shelter overnight under the warmth of a large yak. First thing next morning you must start heading west. Leave early before the winds start.
Let the Sphinx be your compass and head 42 deg west by southwest approximately 2.8 km past the landmark.
You will see a toothless woman selling corn on the cob. Do not stop to ponder the irony just ask where to find the Bedouin tent of Kasim the tailor. Seek him out. He will be easy to find as his is the only tent that has a neon arrow pointing to a sign reading oddly enough "Kasim the Tailor". Do not make eye contact but walk into his tent backwards, bowing as you go.
It will be at this time that you realize that dammit you forgot your jacket at home.
Take the next flight to LAX , go home, get the jacket and take it to that guy around the block from your office that everybody raves about. I'm sure he will do a good job.
Have a nice trip and good luck,
Primo

The funny thing is I rode in with that jacket on this morning. Then I gave it to the guy to alter. Ummmmm...it's now overcast and chilly. Gonna be a cold ride home [&:]
(Actually, I have a gortex jacket and the inner liner from the FXRG but no leather....just thought it was funny)

There is a shoe repair place near where I live. I collect vintage motorcycle and flight jackets. I have had him do all the work on my jackets including alterations, zipper replacement, and sewing on patches. He does a great job.
