: anyone ever had to do this to the newfinish lambskin? How does the leather react? I didn't have any problem with it til they made me sign a disclaimer that they wouldn't be responsible for damaging the jacket.
: DON'T DO IT!!!! I asked my very reliable shoe cobbler where I could get my jacket (2nd Cooper, circa 1990) cleaned and re-colored since it was turning tan! He recommended a place. The re-coloring was stupid in the first place but the cleaning process DRIED OUT the leather and it wound up SHRINKING! Now my friend owns it because it is way too small. Please,please think twice about it. I would rather saddle soap it myself by hand. Food for thought. Yours truly, Bottitta.
