Club Obi Wan

I have a shiny new lamb skin jacket and was after some advice on how to make it look old and used. I will give it a light sanding on the seams etc and take some of the shine off with rubbing alcohol but I was wondering if someone could explain to me what shrunken lamb actually is. I have done a search and quite a bit of reading but did not find what I am looking for. If I wash the jacket will it get that nice wrinkled look or will it just shrink?
Any info would be very much appreciated.

Rob.

simple.

hot water shower.

zipp the jacket up, hang it og a hanger then give it a very hot shower. you dont need to soak it thru. then wear it so it conforms to your body type.

it takes years of the jacket.

Fantastic. Thanks Holt. Just what I was looking for.

sure, anytime

Be warned, it will probably shrink a bit too

Thanks DJD. There is a bit of room to play with so it should be fine.

I did the shower thing to my US Wings lambskin a couple of years ago. You can see the pics here: http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=28023

Thanks AP. A very interesting read and very helpful

Arca, what about some updated pics ?.......did you get the collar to darken any to better match the rest of jacket....

I'll try to get some in the next couple of days.

Makes it look newer? Or shortens its life?

makes it look older

What if you don't want to shrink it?

then dont soak it thru and thru.

just HOT shower it a few secs and singe of the newish sheen.
