: Rather then acetne on the predistressed Wested, try this. It worked well on my predistressed LC Wested - getting the seams to show that nice patina.

: Take a brand new sponge that is nice and hard. Rubb it lightly over the seams in a circular motion. This will remove amounts of the pigment in gradual amounts without removing the leather itself (like sandpaper will). I did this about once a week for about 6 weeks. I spent less then $5 on sponges, and I was able to gradually get the right look.

: Give it a shot, and let me know how it works. I think you'll be happy with it and your jacket will last to give to your kids.

: Cheers!
