Lambskin with letaps or pecards

Post by davefelker »

Hey does anyone have some before and after photos of a lambskin jacket with letaps or pecards lotion? Just curious to see how much of a difference it makes in the appearance of the jacket. Thanks :wink:

If you're talking about application on a standard, non-distressed lambskin, you're not GOING to see any difference between the two product applications.

The only difference between the two products is Letaps goes on as a foam, then liquifies as it's rubbed in...and the lotion goes on as a lotion directly from the bottle....but the results are exactly the same.

Sorry Michaelson, what I really meant was what is the difference as far as the look of the jacket goes. I mean does the letaps/pecards application make the jacket look better as in more aged?

Letaps didn't do anything to my lamb.

I wonder about pecards then, and do I have to use the lotion instead of the standard pecards? Also, should I apply some first thing when I receive the jacket or wait awhile? Sorry to play 50 questions but I just want to get it right and make sure the jacket looks good for a long time.

Well, I agree totally with VP that you'll see less of the Letap application than you will the Pecards lotion after initially put on the leather, so if you're looking for protection and no much change in leather color over a longer period of time, go with Letap.

Pecards leather lotion (the water soluable type) is a close second.
