Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

[RXS09]

In any case, I look forward to my next Clint being black. I just need enough of you to join my order so we hit the minimums.

you can use corn starch as a paste... maybe the contrast grain-out collar is a sensible option. food for thought.

I've never tried it on a suede jacket, but you could try Saphir's Omni Nettoyant suede shampoo. It's a gentle cleanser designed for suede shoes. I've had OK luck with it on suede shoes, although I imagine a suede collar is a tougher job.

This stuff works great. I've used it for years on suede shoes -- it's gotten out indigo stains, cooking oil, red wine. So I'd give it a shot on an oily/dirty collar. A few tips: wet area with warm water, almost saturate, then work in the cleaner with a toothbrush or the brush that comes with it until it lathers. Really work it in. Rinse with warm water and let dry, then raise nap with a horsehair or badger brush. Repeat as needed. If that doesn't work I'd try baking soda paste.

It look one size too large. I'd fix the buttons and sell. Collar should look like that.

Even in shoulders and similar, or just the boxy cut? The shoulders might be a bit slope-y, I agree.

Any good experiences with dyeing? I'm looking to get my grey/taupe ToJ dyed black, but can't really find any place yet that does it professionally.

Band collar DR looks good, I can't quite make out the name off the maker, who makes it? @Benesyed

Buzzards? Never heard of it. I like the zipper position better on this than falcon

I think falcon makes a band collar DR if you are looking for that

StyleZeitgeist had some kind of partnership with Colibri: http://www.colibridyers.com/ which counts as some kind of endorsement.

Fog City Leather dyed my suede safari after I tried to clean it myself. Only cost $150 and an 8 week wait. It lost a bit of its initial softness but would recommend.
