It looks really good. I like the color.

Where you pleased with how the scotch brite pad works? I use it on anything, Indygear or others, that I think needs a little distressing.

I think, it has the perfect amount of abrasion. And, allows the surface you are distressing to fight back a little.

Anyway, good work.

Be sure to treat with Pecards ASAP after destressing.

Thats the first thing i did after using scoth pads
i noticed distressed leather is very dry Peckards is a MUST as it replaces
the moisture
plus the colour looks great a lot darker with peckards highly recommended
