Club Obi Wan

Hi guys, I need a little help with my Fight Club jacket.

It looks like this:

It's a bit... well... plain I think, I'd like it to be a little more shiny like this:

I thought that maybe I could apply something to the leatherjacket, except I don't know what to use. So if anyone has experience with this kind of stuff I'd like to hear it.

edit: By the way, I'd like to color it into a deeper red, can any of you recommend a brand?

I think it looks great!!!

Yeah it looks pretty good at the moment but I'd still like to shine it up as the movie jacket was a tad more shiny.

wow, almost 70 replies and no one has any idea?

How about using some regular leather shoe wax on it? This brand, for example, or just whatever your local shoe shop carries. I have a couple of different kinds of shoe wax at home; one absolutely colorless and one with a bit of brown in it. Both should shine up your jacket a bit, and the later kind might darken it a bit as well (and both ought to do well for waterproofing it ).

With Denmark being the Pecard-less country it is, I have used this stuff on leather jackets, with no ill effects. If you are unsure, you can always experiment on just a small, out of the way area of the jacket first (underneath the collar, for example).

Depends on the leather, I use Letap on my Wested lamb and it makes it shiny again. Got the cans from KT Templar. I also have Pecards from Joe Strain that I use on my other leather stuff and it works great.
