Distressing a 2002 Wested Lamb

Post by Solo »

Non of my Indy gear has been distressed. I have had other projects and never got around to distressing any of it. I have a few jackets. A 2002 Wested Lambskin, a 2008 Raiders special jacket and 2008 Tony Nowak KS jacket.

I figured I would try distressing. This morning I put a my 2002 Wested Lambskin and hoped in the shower for a few minutes with it on. The water temp was normal warm water temp that you would take a shower in.

What should I do next?

I've found that when I distressed a wested goat, suttle was better than some of the swipe a peice of 100 grit sand paper all over and stand back and say, WOW, looks perfect. Sorry, these attempts of distressing always sadden me, hit those seams, do so light buffing in areas you think would get more distressed than other areas. Go slow, you can always do more later.
Don't do it all in one sitting, I've done mine over the course of months, even years. Suttle.
With taht said, you say you've showered in it, now you need to wear it till it drys. Get out there in the sun.

Good luck, look forward to ........ :WLWOP:
