Best Way to remove pen mark on Russet leather jackets?

[Radz108]

any suggestions?

I use a small blowtorch and don't get too close to the leather - the ink will lift off.

Just joking. More info, please. Where is the mark? What kind of ink or pen? If it's in a prominent area? Can you live with it? Leather is workwear, it's meant to get scuffed and marked with wear.

If it's blotches of ink from a leaky pen you can try leather cleaning fluid, Lexol make some - test in a small hidden area. I have also used soap and water and mild solvents to remove paint and other things. Always test this to ensure you're not removing the finish too.

Is it Vicenza? What kind of ink?
Drop me an email [email protected] and I will send you some cuttings to experiment on first, put some ink on them ( preferably same ink) and you can try various methods before trying on your jacket.
Let me know what ink and I will also try a few things here.
