soaking Shinki horsehide in water

When I saw the video showed above for the first time (it was about a couple of years ago) - it seemed quite interesting to me then, esp. if to exclude a couple of strange moments: when that guy bites off all original Waldes diamond zipper pullers to change them to "hand-made" crappy rings and when he uses sandpaper - both those moments initially looked (and still does) disgusting, that's just horrible anyway.
But my opinion has changed noticeably during a couple of years, and now I've found that the whole video is just the disgusting attempt to ruin the jacket.
Do those strange things with Shinki HH or any other top-notch leather? No, thanks. Never.
Sandpaper, flatiron, damaging Waldes' pullers - what a crap is that guy doing?!
I don't consider the result of his "work" looks "cool", he almost ruined his jacket.
