So I'm outside yesterday and got caught in a torrential downpour that lasted a total of maybe 5 minutes.
Long enough to make my Wested lambskin look like I'd just jumped into the Amazon.
It was saturated and heavy so I (stupidly) rang out as much as I could which caused a minimal amount of dye leeching and threw it in the dryer on low for a bit.
Those of you that have seen my Wested before know that it's kind of beat up anyway so the dryer thing wasn't a concern. However, I only let it go for about 1/2 an hour and hung dry it overnight.
It is a little puffy and feels quite dry. Any ideas on how to "restore" it?

Pecards leather lotion, or better yet, Pecards leather 'creme' (actually jell, but they marked it incorrectly when they introduced it, and can't go back!!) 
It will bring your jacket right back to life. The jell is my personal main stay. Just put on a light coating and allow it to completely soak in over night, then buff off any excess the next day with a clean tee shirt. It restores the moisture to the dry leather.
