When a decorative sewn-on patch is removed from a leather jacket, what can be done to minimize stitching holes?

About all you can do is wet the leather, then try to massage or lightly pound the holes down a bit. They will never go away, but this will minimize them

fishmeok...you should know how to fix leather if anyone does, building those amazing a-2s...
seeing your reply here i have a question to ask...on a-2s and g-1s, when you need to replace the fabric cuffs or waist ribbing, is there a place(s) yOu would recommend in the u.s. to have that done, where they will thread through the original holes so there now won't be an extra set of sewn holes from the original cuffs? i know flightsuits (gibson/barnes) won't work on anything but their own coats (boo!)...and aero will do it (i'm sure wonderfully), but i'd rather keep it in the u.s.
thanks for your help on this...oh, and, wiLL you start offering this service
