Members speedknot Posted February 23, 2015 Members Report Posted February 23, 2015 I have an old school, Brando style, biker jacket that is just screaming to be weathered. Can anyone here recommend someone in the NYC area who is proficent in giving leather that worn look? Thanks in advance. Quote

Members speedknot Posted February 23, 2015 Author Members Report Posted February 23, 2015 Tumble it in a dryer with a few hard rubber balls. Regular heat setting? What do the rubber balls do? Quote
Northmount Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 No heat, don't need to dry out the leather and cause it to shrink and crack. The balls are just beating it up to give some wear. If you want some scratches, wrap it around a few bricks in a pile of rags and drag it around the driveway. Tom Quote
Tree Reaper Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 This is the same method they use for softening raw fur. Zip it or button it up and just let it tumble without the heat as Tom mentioned. Quote
King's X Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 If all of this does not work......contact my bud Freddie Matara in Brooklyn. Quote
