Dye transfer
Try on a old piece of leather some of the sheen I was talking about. I re-dyed a jacket that was almost 60years old with a leather sheen and the only way the dye will rub off is if the leather sheen wears off. This is the stuff thats put on leather to keep them from fading. I have tryed it on a few jackets with good results. I even put this stuff over a Army airforce ironon on the shoulder of the transfer so that it would not peel. No one can tell i put it on the leather.
The sheen last as long as the original finish thats put on jackets. Every so often you may need to re-apply because all leather fades and dye does wear off in time that's why we have vintage look jackets

My cordovan jacket is untreated (it's heavy horsehide)...and it really has rubbed onto everything jeans, bags, shirts...grr..
I'm gonna go with goatskin next time..as I've never had problems with old Goatskin jackets!
The cordovan colour is quite 'ruby'-ish, so rubbing it with a cloth would achieve very little except a very dirty cloth...oh well..
Still.. great jacket, and Aero are a wonderful company to feal with!
