@Oaktavia oh 100% dude. You know when it’s time it’s time. I think that the orangish hue it takes on after treating it is something that I wish had more of a caramel brownish tint. I think I mostly wonder if I’d waited longer and let it untreated if it would have gone more that way. Or it may just be the way this leather is that it will take on that peach / orange tone.

@Mizmazzle there are parts of my jacket that are quite dark. I am curious how those areas will turn out when I treat it. We will soon find out the answer to your query. Il take many before and after shots.

I finally treated my jacket today using Mustang Paste. Phew! That took longer than I expected. All of the creases and stitching really take time to work the paste into. I used the entire jar and was worried it wouldn't be enough. It seemed to be the perfect amount when I was all through. The leather looks better in areas that appeared heavy with patina that gave off almost a greenish hue. This is now muted with the treatment. Looks more distinguished than before.

@Mizmazzle yeah dude I didn't even realize how many seams there were until yesterday. Brought me closer to the jacket.
