You must be really proud

I'll be first to say, from the poor lit photos, that the before after is good from initial look.

I still prefer it black, but I gotta say it's a pretty outrageous experience. Y'ballin'.

not in the slightest. the leather literally just soaked it up. I even poured water on it and tried to wipe it off and almost nothing came off. Im sure the color is now much more engrained into the jacket just 12 hours after the procedure

it seems that the distressing was a product of surface contact. when they removed the fine top layer of leather, it exposed the surface to the elements. the leather felt dry. took on the shoe cream very well.
