It brings it back closer to what it would have been. I wouldn't say that it darkens the actual color of the leather, so much as eliminates the dryness.

Some before and afters
Diner, did you buy this Monarch on eBay recently? I had my eye on it.
Just picked up 2 faves of mine from Johnson Leathers in San Francisco.
seam repair's on the left jacket & new lining & wool Cuffs & Bottom waistband replaced on the right jacket.
Great job restitching was in the old holes so looks clean.
Not the First time there for repairs & not the last ,,,Always great attention to detail on my old Patina Rich Jackets.
Alan is Great Guy & burned me some great Musica !
He showed me some of his secret stash stuff
Custom HH waiting to ship out far away,,,it will be many years before any Patina

Hey seabass, I enjoyed your photos from Johnson Leathers. I've talked to Alan countless times now and will soon be receiving my second jacket from them, yet I have little idea what the place itself is like. If you have any more photos from JL to share, I'd like to see them - maybe in a new thread.

Nice jackets. I'm a newbie here, but thought you guys might dig my old Schott Perfecto:

Thanks, strokes. I didn't used to like the Perfecto style at all. But once you ride in one and realize how well it does it's job of protection, comfort, and utility, you get sold.

I see SoCal is posting attachments... I joined a while back and have more posts. Why can't I post attachments yet? Anyone.

Maybe it's my lack of knowledge on code issues.

Not sure, I bought it used this year...been wearing it doing all kinds of ranch chores as well as to the office...
I really like the looks of the 50's HB shown by gtdean48 and plan for that same jacket to be added to my collection sooner than later.
