Make Your Own Textured Leather! ;)

Post by Heyjude7 »

Hey All,
I was just thinkin, i know how alot of people like that textured leather look in the TN Raiders and was testing out on a piece of leather samples i have aquired( ;) ) i used a tool to make marks and lines like the textured leather without harming or weaking the leather.. the tool is the tool you use to put the rubber gasket in a screen window...
any ideas or thoughts?
i was wondering if you like the look of the textured lamb but dont like the weakness, you can texture your own goat or cow..anyone? 8)

...I just realized MODS that this should be in gear care and distressing.. sorry bout that

Who says textured lamb is weak? I just saw a guy wearing a 30 year old shrunken lamb A2 jacket he'd bought while in the service stationed in Korea and it looked fantastic. He'd worn it A LOT over three decades and the leather was in great shape albeit very well broken in and aged.
