Show Your Patina

It brings it back closer to what it would have been. I wouldn't say that it darkens the actual color of the leather, so much as eliminates the dryness.

I love how well dark seal hides age.

Hey seabass, I enjoyed your photos from Johnson Leathers. I've talked to Alan countless times now and will soon be receiving my second jacket from them, yet I have little idea what the place itself is like. If you have any more photos from JL to share, I'd like to see them - maybe in a new thread.

Nice jackets. I'm a newbie here, but thought you guys might dig my old Schott Perfecto:

 

[strokes1251]

Really digging that perfecto!

 

[SoCalSoftailSlim]

Thanks, strokes. I didn't used to like the Perfecto style at all. But once you ride in one and realize how well it does it's job of protection, comfort, and utility, you get sold.

Looks great. How old is the jacket?

I see SoCal is posting attachments... I joined a while back and have more posts. Why can't I post attachments yet? Anyone.

Maybe it's my lack of knowledge on code issues.

 

[SoCalSoftailSlim]

I did it from URL, and unchecked retrieve remote file, Monte. Good luck.

Posting photos is not dependent on number of posts, only Private Messages. Posting photos requires a hosting site like Photobucket & using the IMG link.

I really like the looks of the 50's HB shown by gtdean48 and plan for that same jacket to be added to my collection sooner than later.
