Adding perforation to a jacket?

I don't know about 'around Austin', but I believe at one time I heard that Barnacle Bill's would do it.

After seeing the work done by Bill - I wouldn't send him anything that I expected to be back in good condition.

Panther Leathers http://www.panthercityleather.com/ Does all our work - and has been VERY reliable for repair, add-ons, lettering, and perf. HIGHLY recommended.

Yikes, I bet these perforations flow a LOT of air. Not exactly what I want though.

Hell, I could make those perfs for you with a hammer and a 10-penny nail.

If you had a very sharp leather punch you could do it yourself but it won't look perfect like it would from a leather shop.

See that will only put a hole in the leather and not cut out a tiny circle. That's why you need a leather punch, so you can remove material.
