Wested & Ethyl Alcohol Treatment

Posted by Rafael Perez from atenea.uax.es on November 11, 1999 at 17:36:56:

Hello again!! This must be my second or third post.

Just got my LC Wested, new lambskin. Great Jacket must say but....
.... too new finish.

Now. I've read almost everything about treating the jacket to get a used look, i.e. peccard dressing, sandpaper, beating against the wall and so on..... so I've tried myself a new "technique"...

I've found that rubbing the new leather with a towel moistered in Ethyl Alcohol will make the brown color to fade, getting a slightly lighter color that makes the skin look like soared in the area where applied, I mean you get the color brushed off.
Of course I've only done this in a hidden area, cause I don't wanna to ruin the jacket the first day it arrived. My question is that if I decide to rub the whole jacket will it get ruined. I mean could the leather suffer badly from treating it with the alcohol?. It seems that it will fet a great look but wanna get sure before aplying to the whole surfaces. Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks.....RAFA
