That’s a really nice collection you’ve got there! I like the range of colours and styles you have.

Thanks! I try to diversify as much as possible (within the limits of my own preferences of course). I have three or four jackets that I will get before I turn on the breaks...

superb. Love the style and color variation. I'm trying to get there myself now that I've bought and tried on a bunch of stuff. 12 is my goal, like your clock LOL. We'll see. Tough to part with some of them.

Great jackets, but the diversity of color really caught my eye. Awesome pic.

that's not too far off IMO. I can see though a little tight in the chest. You look pretty skinny so doesn't sound like some weight loss is in your future. Maybe keep it as your unzipped jacket.

It's not far, but it's not supposed to fit that way. These jackets are conceived for riding, and the current ones can include armor. There's no way I can fit an armor in there! So, yes, I could use this as a casual jacket and wear it unzipped, but I would be missing something. The style would be there, but not the function.

Jealously looking at the original.

Had a blast restoring this jacket together. More pics to follow in a separate thread!

Got a jar of Urad in and treated the Hercules. Figured out a few things going through the process and really touching every part of the jacket:

1) The main zip was replaced at some point. I don’t really have an eye for these things but there’s an obvious second set of stitches on top of the first set.

2) The shoulders and top of collar are a little drier than I thought- although nothing flaked off as I worked it.

(Due to these discoveries I feel the need to pull my classified, especially the non-original main zip. Guess it’s meant to be mine after all)

3) This jacket already looked great and @ton312 is right, Urad made it look even better! Really nice stuff.

Took a few pics having fun with it.

My jar comes tomorrow, and I will use it on a similar jacket. I might even mimic your ensemble.
Lookin’ good @Mrfrown!

 

[Mrfrown]

Thanks HM! I think you’re in for a treat.

I’ve done much less experimenting with products, hot water, dyes etc than you have so I’m sure it’ll be an easy go for you.

that leather does seem look rejuvenated with some luster on

nice color wheel, needs some blue

Went out yesterday after a long while, felt cool to be in a jacket again. St. Stone Perfecto, Levi's jeans, Miu Miu boots.

Kick-ass look Ivan. Does the spirit good. Heck of a nice jacket.

Urad is magic. It greatly enhances the color and it's not sticky like Obenaufs or other beeswax based products.

Hi Marc - that looks really great! Which Urad product did you use and how would you say it differs from Pecards, if you have had a chance to compare the two?

I haven't tried pecards but I did try obenaufs. Obenauf's can make a jacket look matte and it doesn't really enhance the color dept. Plus depending on the type of leather, it may take up to a week or two to fully dry. Urad is dry within minutes.
