Saturated Leather
Posted: Sat Apr 26, 2008 8:10 am
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?
