Here are a range of pictures i took in progresstion threw each step. I first started rubbing 91% Isopropyl Alcohol with a rag all over the jacket. The first few pics are a comparison of pre and post alcohol treatment. The right arm is post treatment and the left is pre treatment.

After letting try for 2 hours, i started using 320 grain sand paper in small areas along the seems, collor and pockets. Unfortunaly its hard to see the final effect with the light and the fact i had to use a camra phone hehe. Please let me know what you think, whats bad, good ugly

any tips or comments would be great. Thanks.

I'm on my phone and it only loads the first few pictures that shows after the alcohol treatment and I think it looks good, that is what I want to do when mine arrives. Did you just barely whipe the jacket with the alcohol or did you apply any pressure?
Great job

Is that a ROTLA special offer or a custom ?

i took a kitchen bowl with the alcohol in it, then wraped a rag around 2 of my fingers and dipped it in the bowl. I worked in small areas systematicly around the jacket. I did your some pressure but not alot, just enuff to take a little color off. If you use a white rag you'll know what i mean.

No, The Last Crusade is my favorit at of the three so i had them model the jacket after that. The lamb skin is great, it becomes even solfter after the alcohol treatment.
