You’ll be sick of seeing this jacket soon enough! I’ll get some decent pics tomorrow.

Nice aero leather… J106 or Ridley

Nice aero leather… J106 or Ridley

‘Slim Fit J106’ direct from Aero - Denny explained that the Ridley name technically only applies to the slim fit 3 pocket model that Thurston sells (though I suspect the pattern is the same).

Another swing and a miss. Fits perfectly minus the sleeves. They are super short! I’ve applied a bit of dark brown Urad to the areas that don’t look completely bare. A good candidate for a repro. I’m hoping Regius will be up to it! Would make a super cool two tone….

And post “clear Urad”. What a heartbreaker!

This made me a believer in urad, at least visually. Doesn’t it initially leave a sticky film? Do you buff it out or just give it time to work itself out?

It is sticky for about 5minutes after it goes on. This jacket drank it up like crazy though so it was dry very quickly. I don’t know if any other other product that will hydrate and rebuild a top coat like URAD.

If you’re moving it on, I’d be interested in it if it’s 23” pit - pit.

Never heard of this product before, interesting. I typically use Pecards on jackets.

I’d love to send it to ya but it’s probably going to be be to short in the sleeves for you too!

@Observe
Urad is very different from Pecards, a lot of it stays on top of the leather and literally creates a new topcoat. Works best for really worn out surfaces and restoration, like in ton's example above. Urad finish tends to be a bit shiny.

I’d test it out on something small before you go wild on a jacket. It’s not for everyone.

I don't think I have anything in a state that requires a new topcoat, but it's good to know such a product exists.

 

[handymike]

Think of it like varnish. Good when you need it, but if you don’t there are options.

 

[ton312]

Urad is for for restoring topcoat. It is not a conditioner in the traditional sense. It's not the best to hydrate leather. it is the best to restore lost topcoat and seal unprotected or bare areas. These pictures best display exactly what it does.

^^ well put. Urad is a sealant.

Love the way it looks on that jacket.
