I see what you mean. I will say it looks more interesting than the original. The distressing does not look natural (that is super-difficult to do and only Thedi pulls it off, but he is, well, Zeus).After a weekend of abuse I’ve decided to let the 5 star come up for air. If you are not a fan of faux distressing close this tab! LOL. I probably could’ve done a better job of it if I intended to keep it this way. Two coats of conditioner and some sealant later....easy enough to strip and go full cordo but I’ll see how this wears for now. I can’t decide if I love it or it’s the worst looking mall distress I’ve ever seen...

Now that is some great styling! Like your new beard arrangement too. That’s what Erol Flynn would look these days…!
Yeah I go from loving it to thinking it looks way too over the top. I may try some less invasive means of subtlety darkening the leather before another bout of acetone and dye.I see what you mean.

I kind of like it, but I do see your dilemma.
I think a redye job would add another layer of color and depth. Either way though, I'd rather wear what you did than the terrible color that arrived.Yeah I go from loving it to thinking it looks way too over the top.

Full on cordo=epic contrast.After a weekend of abuse I’ve decided to let the 5 star come up for air. If you are not a fan of faux distressing close this tab! LOL.

I think it looks fine, but perhaps tone down a little the spots that is too dark, these dark spots make it too fake. And imho dont polish it all shiny everywhere, pick few spots that should be shiny, collar fold and edges, cuff, some raised part on the inner elbow honeycomb, edges of the pocket, near zipperbox, and leave everything else in soft sheen and matte.Yeah I go from loving it to thinking it looks way too over the top.
