My ex helped to distress my Wested!

Post by Canyon »

A few weeks ago, I was helping my ex husband to take the starter motor out of his 1936 Morris 8. Underneath the car are stones and gravel, so I asked him if he wanted to lie on my Wested, seeing as it's already distressed and he agreed.

Some fiddling around later etc, water from the engine dripped onto my jacket, but don't panic! It's now give the jacket an even more distressed creased up look to it!

What do you guys think?


Also something else I discovered. If you lie on gravelly stones whilst wearing your jacket and moving around, you get the full Fuller's earth effect free of charge! :P

It does give the jacket a more aged look, I guess I just don't like all the scratches. I'm glad you're happy with it, though!
