Thanks for the welcome and reply! The colors in some of the pictures vary while the descriptions indicate they are the same leather. For example, check out :
Even though it says it is also the pre-distressed, it looks almost black in the photo while the photo referenced in my first post looks more of a rich brown color (which is what I am looking for).
As you will find out, it is all in the lighting. The jackets are dark brown and do look black in many photos - just like the movies By the way, this applies to the color of the shirt, pants, fedora, MK VII, holster, gloves, boots and socks as well Welcome to the madness
This touches on a problem that I have been having. Look at the photo referenced above. You can see that the two collar points hang differently. In the photo, the point on the side of the storm flap looks correct to my eyes, but the other point lays flatter. Seeing this, I thought at first that it had something to do with the way the collar attached to the storm flap, but then I looked closer at my jacket.
In my case (with an authentic lambskin), it is just the opposite. The point on the side of the storm flap is the one that flops over, while the other side holds its shape.
Any suggestions here? Is there any Leather Viagara that can be used on a finished jacket collar to help it stand up?
I can clarify things a little about the jacket that is posted on the main Indygear site. That is _'s original jacket that now Fedora owns. It was ordered as predistressed cowhide, HOWEVER... it arrived NOT predistressed. So I wanted to make sure the interested party was aware that the actual predistressed jacket does NOT look what is actually pictured. I too agree that the highlights on that jacket are gorgeous. _ did not do anything to artificially distress it. He just wore it.
However, MK seems to be having the same trouble that I am with his lambskin:
MK wrote:The fix I prescribed is for stiff collars.....like goat. My new Wested lamb has the Elvis/John Travolta problem too. I wish the collar had more body.
I am working on it. I will report back on what happens.
I seem to remember someone here using a double sided tape (or something like that) but I am concerned about leaving permanent stains or glue on the fabric. I just was wondering whether there was a leather treatment or method of pressing that would work here.
By the way, this applies to the color of the shirt, pants, fedora, MK VII, holster, gloves, boots and socks as well
