Restoring a Leather Jacket

 In July 2021, one of my pals asked if I could save her vintage leather jacket.  



I checked all the seams for disintegrating thread.  Leather doesn't get pinned, it gets clipped to not puncture the skin.  Clips can be purchased at Wawak or even Amazon.   They are also great for quilting and hems.









Over the next few days, I used old rags, rubber gloves and 2 bottles of  Leather Honey leather conditioner and saved the leather.  The jacket sucked up the 1st bottle!



And here is the almost final reveal, because I did go back and touch up a few spots.
