it looks so much better.great job.
I have actually never like the sandpaper way of distressing and never doing anything with it after it's done.it leaves a big contrst beteen the dark leather and the light distressed spots..
in this case you have done a great job blending the two in.
I did this with my distressed jacket too and it looks great.
but for people that dont have pecards or some sort of leather oil...then you can do this just by soaking your jacket after it's been distressed.
it will look great

Looks really good now. Personally I don't think you need a second coating of the Pecards.
Holt, since the Pecards moisturizes the leather and soaks in, what effect does the water soaking have on the sanded areas after it eventually fully dries? I have no experience with this type of distressing and I am curious.

[quote="Chewing Wax"]I've never used this Pecards. I don't really think it's necessary, but maybe I'm wrong. Does it leave a oily residue? Any residue at all? I can't stand residue on my jackets. I think it would repulse me from wearing it. I used Lexol on riding tack all the time though. Is it similar?[/quote]
Never used Pecards !?! Good Lord!! Don't let Michaelson see that

I just realized this.
by the look of those pictures it looks like you have a brown undertone like in the film jackets..I have the same look on mine
I am pretty sure the film jackets had the same wested GREY undertone on the jackets and by adding the oil on it it is realized as a brown undertone.the film jacket was added with minkoil after distrssing.
just add some oil on to the distressing guys and it WILL look like the film jacket distressing:D
