What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Pecards or Skidmore. Lather it up, put into a black trash bag. Leave out in the sun for a couple days.

Pecards is incredible stuff. I bought a tub some time back - Amazon, from memory. It comes in several different labels - for jackets, car seats, furniture.... - though the manufacturer is open it's all the same thing, just that people are more comfortable if the label states clearly it's for a specific purpose.

Note that Pecards et al will restore the leather in terms of suppleness and reversing dry-out, but it won't change colour. If you want to take a jacket back towards newer, uniform colour, look for a recolouring balm for leather vintage-car seats.

Hello

Amazing suede today. Gentlemen, a few suede jackets, but the rare one was not so delicate, I have not seen anything like it before. The leather looks like an inverted goat grain leather.
Maybe some of you have already met such a jacket, but this leather is amazing to the touch.
Between us, I found it some time ago at a secendhand store.

Lee Trevor is top quality and you're right; This isn't suede, it's a rough-out or more precisely, jacket made out of full grain leather where the fuzzy side is facing out. I think it's cowhide, though but doesn't matter. Great jacket in any case.

Lee Trevor jest najwyższej jakości i masz rację; To nie jest zamsz, to surowa kurtka, a dokładniej kurtka wykonana ze skóry licowej, której zamszowana strona jest skierowana na zewnątrz. Myślę, że to skóra bydlęca, ale to nie ma znaczenia. Świetna kurtka w każdym razie.

Thank You

Still probably three months out for jacket weather here. Seems like fall is actually summer v. 2 and then the next day it’s -20. Really hoping for a true autumn this year. Going to have a decent stable suitable for the low 40’s, crisp air range. Straight 90’s the next three days. The late summer hatred has taken effect. Beach days are done thanks to work. I’ll be happy to have 39 degrees, driving cold rain and 6 hours of football and a slow cooked pork roast to waste a Sunday on.
