Penitent Man Leather does it again…

[Stefan Hills]

Michaelson look way! Kyle from Penitent Man Leather does it again. I had a Wested Last Crusade Authentic Lamb sitting in the closest for years and I never got around to distressing it because I did not have the skills to make it look natural and yet very recognizable to the distressing seen on a Crusade jacket.

Fortunately now Diego offers this on all jackets purchased from Steele & Jones but I was out of luck on the Wested jackets I own until now. When Kyle mentioned he offers this service as well in addition to his gear and since I was so impressed with his bag straps and his level of attention to detail, I did not hesitate. Best decision EVER!

I will let the pictures speak for itself, and if anyone is on the fence on how to tackle the dilemma of a brand new jacket and wanting it look lived in right out of the box, Kyle is your man. I still cannot believe the original under tones were the classic greyish that those who own a Wested will be familiar with since this jacket is not the legacy hide.

Before…


And After…

Wow! That is impressive work indeed.

[Cimmerian]

Very impressive indeed. How to get hold of Kyle?

[LostRaider25]

WOW, that looks beautiful!

[marker2037]

That's a great weathering job!

[Indiana Croft]

Noice, looks like my old Wested, the ol grey undertone dyed with brown leather dye.
I know, I did it to mine, my distressing was lighter, BUT Kyle did a fantastic job.
I’m one who is impatient and love to distress my jackets.

Wear that in good health, noice lookin jacket.

Brilliant job, wear that with pride. Really jaw dropping work

[Michaelson]

Was this the one you had for sale not too long ago, Stefan?

I actually prefer your weathering to that on the actual prop. I always felt it looked fake, especially the straight vertical scrapes on the storm flap.

Hmm, interesting post! I was always hoping that someone would offer this service for the jackets and gear in general. Although I can certainly reach out myself, just curious if there is there a degree of distressing / fee chart, etc. just out of curiosity...?

I could provide you with one if you’d like

PM sent, Btw, I'd love to see your work on the new Wested Legacy jackets...
