Re: Vintage Leather Jacket Restoration - Any Ideas?
Pecards leather cream may help? Nigel from Eastman Leather gave me the of tip using appropriately coloured leather conditioner, I'm fairly certain it was from redwing and just rubbing a tiny amount in. Nigel is employed by Gary Eastman primarily to do the 'ageing' processes, either for the .50 Cal range or film work, but I think he also makes jackets, applies patches etc.
Otherwise I use Byson Leather (up in Royston, Hertfordshire, not Vasey) they are a little snowed under right now

Not sure if Lewis Leathers still tackle restorations but it might be worth the phone call?

That's amazing Woof, Do you have any links to the cleaner and cream? I've got a A2 begging for a new lease of life.
