Does anyone know how to get this particular stain out of my new leather jacket? It looks like it was caused by some sort of a press-stud or something, while in stock.
Pecards didn't do jack.
I know it's not an indy jacket but i figure someone here must've had a similar experience or have had some sort of a stain they want to get out. I didn't find anything on the subject by searching the forum.
Any help?
And for those who are curious, that's the jacket.

Just a little personal warning about saddle soap. The other day I used it to clean what looked like an ink stain on my yellow deerskin riding gloves and it faded the area that was cleaned. Lucky for me they were only a pair of working gloves but I'd hate to see that happen to your jacket!!!Saddle soap?? Cleans all kinds o' crud off my white leather tennis shoes.

I've been advised against saddle soap by the dude who made the jacket, said it'd fade the color, cause it's analine leather, so the color is supposedly not very solid.
I might try rubbing it with Jack Daniels There happens to be one in a little wine-cooler right next to me.
I also heard analine jackets get patina over time. Any way to prevent that?

I've used Scouts or Properts leather cleaner & conditioner with fantastic results (basically they're both the same product). I had a pair of cowboy boots years ago and had accidentally stepped in a pool of old motor oil. I thought the boots were ruined. Then I went to our local boot shop and they recommended this stuff. Several applications drew all of the motor oil out of the leather and left it looking good as new. No stains left behind and it helped condition the leather as well. I swear by this stuff.
