My Distress Methode for my Wested Jacket Videos and Pictures

Post by fedoraiders »

Hello Everyone! Because I had no Indiana Jones jacket since spproximatly one years, the last month, I bought 2 wested Jackets, one in Authentic Lambskin from ebay and one in Soft Goat from the COW.

I love this 2 Jacket but the Authentic Lambskin is little bit to slim for me and I hate the unused look of this jacket. I don't like the brown color and it's for this reason that I'm happy to show my methode to distress my Lambskin jacket. My methode is realy simple, no pecard, no brush, no sand paper, no dyeing and no acetone. I like my methode and I love the result because I'm a fanatic of the jacket in the FLYING WING and TRUCK CHASE.

It's weird but the brown tint is disappeared, LOL. Honnetelty, the real dust did a true miracle with the brown tint.

Thanks for looking!

It was in 2009 with my old Wested that I sold the last summer.

Thanks Michael, my next steps are the true scratches on the right shoulder (first picture) and the gun shot on the left arm with a blood (second picture).

Actually, I was only joking.
I didn't think you would actually get dragged behind a truck. :shock:

That's awesome!! I hope to some day get the chance to be dragged behind a truck (is that wrong? :-s )

Better to be 'drug by a truck' than to be tied to the roof of the car...as in National Lampoon's Vacation....I always say.
