Derek shows you how to restore an old Leather Jacket. Use the same technique on any old leather items! Get your own Pecard Antique Leather Dressing: amzn.to/3SAD7Fv Fabric Mender: amzn.to/3SoevQ6
It looks really good! Another cool thing you can do (if you dont mimd darkening the leather a little) is using an antique gel. It will darken the scratches and blend them in.
@@derekdoeschannel Very true. Growing up we didn't like patina, as it looked old and poor and unkept in my country, so we put the brown/black shoe paste on our shoes and sometimes even jackets. It really depends what you prefer and what the trend is, no right or wrong.
Great Video. I think yours is the only one like this. I also like and have used Pecards on my Old Leather Jackets. I like Pecard Brown Tint Conditioner also if you want to cover some of the wear. It comes in Black also. On Fadora Lounge Forum Some people use Obenauf’s LP. I researched for hours about leather care. Even though Pecards made with Food Grade Petroleum big debate if safe for leather. You found a beautiful jacket. Thank You for Posting.
Thank you, I've used both but keep coming back to Pecards Antique. I've never tried the tinted but that probably would help if you wanted an even color.
I think you'll have to re-dye it white. I think that the original white has deteriorated or had heavy sun damage. White leather is difficult to keep white.
I didn’t mind the look of how it was before, but it drapes and fits much nicer after the conditioning! Would love to find one of these in my size. Do you do anything to sanitize or clean the liner? Last jacket I bought had an unpleasant thrift store smell I couldn’t get rid of.
Thanks. If your jacket is new, just wear it. Let the weather beat it down for a few years, then you can condition it. New Horsehide is already conditioned and oiled so nothing to do but enjoy it!
