UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.

No use in me saying it now, but for the benefit of anyone else, there is a care instruction that says test it in a small area that cannot be noticed, e.g. the hidden part of the tongue.
Since the damage has already been done, you just have to keep wearing it. It will be less noticeable with time.

Did you not think of testing a small patch prior to submerging the whole boot in that ****?

I'd have to see a picture of the whole boot, but I agree with this poster. They seem to have developed a patina that, to me, resembles finished wood. Also, sometimes cool is confidently rocking the **** out of something a bit idiosyncratic.

I would try some Obenauf's or Pecard's leather conditioner. But you may be stuck with it. I believe silicone sprays can dissolve some of the natural oils in oil tanned leather. That's why I'd try to replace them with a conditioner and see if that helps.

Brown shoe polish should cover it up, but it won't restore the original color.
