    B-3 with exposed internal pocket lining

    I just got a School B-3 but the black pocket liner is sewn so it is protruding past the zipper and visible from the outside. Is this normal?

    Removing pecard from a leather jacket?

    Hmm so it's been a few days and there's still this mark where I applied the pecard. It's like this white mark, no longer shiny (jacket is black). I think it's residue but it almost looks like it's discolored the jacket, although I've never heard of dressing lightening a jacket

    Removing pecard from a leather jacket?

    Ah...yeah I was trying to remove a small scuff mark. Scuff mark came off but shiny pecard stayed on.

    Removing pecard from a leather jacket?

    I added a bit of pecard onto a scuff mark on my leather jacket. Maybe I added too much, but it's left a shiny spot which is unfortunately somewhat noticeable. Should I wait over night and hopefully it'll soak in? or is there a way to remove excess pecard? Thanks

    Puckering on leather jacket from water?

    Dolce and Gabbana. It's actually cowhide. I purchased it because I thought it would be tougher than a regular fashion jacket...go figure

    Puckering on leather jacket from water?

    I understand my Jacket is not an aero or even schott for that matter, but I still paid $1k for it...off of $2500, and i had hoped that the the quality would at least be comparable. Fashion jackets continue to disappoint. I think you guys are right since my other jackets handle water much better...

    Puckering on leather jacket from water?

    Against my better judgement (again) I used a damp cloth, per a friend's recommendation, to dry and remove a few marks on the back of my pebble grained jacket. I guess the cloth was too damp, because the areas that I rubbed have seemingly stretched out, and the pebble has smoothed flatter. In the...

    Leather Jacket refurbishment in the SF/Bay Area recommendation?

    Anybody have any recommendations? I foolishly steamed my jacket sleeve to try to get out a crease, and the sleeve is now much stiffer and dryer. I took the jacket to Johnson Leather to alter the jacket and also hopefully fix the mess I got it in with the steamer. The alteration was perfect...

    I steamed a leather jacket...woops?

    Might have replied to quickly...definitely seems like the hardened leather is holding a crease much easier. Looks very dry...the picard's I ordered in the mail can't come soon enough. Pics forthcoming

    I steamed a leather jacket...woops?

    Do you put it in with heat or tumble dry? Winterland: There's nothing to see really. Looks exactly the same...just the sleeve is slightly stiffer.

    I steamed a leather jacket...woops?

    Yeah creases from packing....and all the advice from google. Well the deed has been done. Nothing seems too bad yet, but what should I be worried about?

    I steamed a leather jacket...woops?

    I have a thick cowhide jacket and a deerskin jacket (both pebble grained) that I steamed to remove creases, but now I'm reading that I shouldn't have done it. The deer hide seems completely fine, although it has some microscopic white particles that look like dandruff (maybe the finishing...
