I have the Wested Leather Raiders jacket and when I tried to distress it, it had more gray undertones rather than that nice lighter brown. Is there a specific Wested Leather jacket you’d recommend for distressing to have that same lighter brown look other than the Raiders Jacket?
The best leather that Wested offer for weathering in my opinion are the Legacy Last Crusade leather and the shrunken lamb (dyed dark brown). If you have grey undertones just rub tan shoe Polish or dye into them to get a nice warm brown.
I just dyed my jacket with the eco-flo water stain! I start distressing it tomorrow. Once it's done, do you recommend using any type of sealer? I didn't know if the stain needed to be sealed to keep it from transferring or if this stain stays well put on its own. To clarify, I'm not worried about the stain rubbing off naturally to create more weathering - I just don't want the stain to transfer onto other items that I brush against. Any advice on this?
Grateful!
Did you guys provide the jackets for the 5th film?

I've never had an issue with dye transferring or fading so I do not use any sealers that could potentially add stiffness to the leather.
I have the raiders legacy hero..it’s awesome
Is it soft or does it feel rough
My jacket doesn’t “turn” brown lol. It’s a greyish colour? Is this normal? Got the Raiders jacket
My legacy crusade did the same - applying mink oil to the areas I worked on helped bring out the copper undertone
Tan shoe polish or dye is a good option to warming up grey undertones
I bought a custom made jacket I has made up I should have asked for distressed leather!
