Knowing the nature of air pollution in Belgium, I wouldn’t be surprised indeed if that would be one of the main reason for these stains.
Also, apparently, this particular leather on the jacket is very natural-looking which could indicate (right?) that less treatment was used during the tanning...
Hello!

Thanks for the advice! I also own a dubbin wax by Kaps. Would that be more fitted for a leather jacket ? Not saying that I would use it again any time soon, as you both advised me not to condition it again.
