Blowdryer + conditioner on Lost Worlds leather (before, during, after)

Seems like the topcoat is great for water & abrasion resistance, but is not conducive to treatments. Regardless, I would never go 20 years before treating my jacket. Why gamble on it drying out. Even if you don’t wear it, the humidity level in your house can cause the leather to dry. Might as well apply some conditioner to see if the leather will absorb it.

 

Those are the kind of creases you find in vintage jackets from the 30s and 40s in the sleeves.

 

Update pics look fantastic.

 

great grain evolution

 

That can't be a Lost Worlds, everybody knows LW have no character and are impossible to break in!

Seriously though, that really looks great.
You are making me regret not buying this one more and more every time you post a pic like that.

 

I won’t make that mistake again. Whatever Stu has been using the last few years really is nice!

 

This looks really good, really enjoyed reading the whole thread

 

You're making a mistake right here... he has been using his top notch horsehide early on, before we were in this game by a long shot! lol

 

I love seeing threads updated. All to often we get a thread started of an awesome jacket and then it gets buried, never to be revisited. I hope we can get more threads resurrected with evolution pics. Thanks @deswaaf for keeping this thread updated. Your jacket is looking better with each update!

 

Speak for yourself I was born in a LW Vest! Had style right out the womb! Ok, so I did have style but I wish that were a LW vest ha
