: I called the pecard people and they told me that the antique dressing was the best to use on lambskin...maybe they didn't know what they were talking about. How would I go about buffing it? What would I use to buff it?

The regular Pecard dressing works fine on the hide. I just work it into the leather with my hands until it basically liquifies. I let it sit for a half hour or so and then buf it out lightly with a clean dry towel. The result is very soft and smooth.

Michaelson posted a few days ago that it was probably not a good choice for the skin jackets, and I believe made another recommendation.

As for how it has worked on my lamb hide LC jacket, I love it. The texture is not oily or tacky at all - it is in fact softer and smoother then it was when I took it out of the box from Peter. The leather has taken on a very rich tone and looks great. I have a few pic's I could email that show this if anybody want them.

Cheers!

Patterson
