My Wested lightly distressed

Post by Indyfan U.K »

I have been a bit indecisive about distressing my jacket. So far I think it is the best decision, because of my artistic background I can weather armour and costume pieces. I weathered all the armour of the Predator and it came out close to screen accurate.

The best part of the Jacket is the seam that runs horizontal below the shoulders looks like it has been through the wars but has no damage to the interior. It's taken me a month to decide to do it but and I'm glad I did.

Any tips for the next stage, sandpaper etc?

It's mainly for display on a mannequin but I will consider having the sleeves taken in when I wear it. What do you suggest for a temporary solution? Maybe just tuck them in at the bottom while wearing it.
