HanSolo Report post Posted February 4, 2016 Hi All, I recently bought a leather jacket for cheap at a second hand store. It is quite old, but its heavy and real leather so good for motorbiking. However, a couple of the edges, such as at the end of the sleeve, are crumbling. What is the simplest way to re-seal these edges? It doesn't have to look good, just stop the crumbling. Many thanks!

byggyns Report post Posted February 5, 2016 The first thing to do is to refresh the leather before you seal it. I would suggest cleaning the leather with Lexol, using the Lexol leather conditioner to bring back some of the suppleness to the leather. Then you can use a sealer. Unfortunately, I don't know what sealer you might use. I have had good luck with the Lexol products on jackets & upholstery to give them a nice refresh & regain the flexibility & supple feel. If the jacket isn't black, you will want to test the conditioner on a non-visible spot first as it can darken the color. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HanSolo Report post Posted February 5, 2016 viasacra89, OK here is a picture of the crumbling edges: The biggest problem is that the crumbling, especially at the sleeve, is getting on stuff and I have to then brush it off. I don't mind the effect on the appearance any solution has, just that the leather stops crumbling. Many Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
