: : A while back a few of you were asking about my acetone and sand paper technique for aging leather. Well I finally have the pictures on my site. http://www.makeupmag.com/jacket.htm The pics Patterson has been posting inspired me to get it done. Sorry it took so long. Enjoy!

: But does it damage the leather? Putting acetone on leather makes me a bit nervous, though you've clearly achieved the right look.

: Cheers!

This distressing gives the right look! I wonder about the use of a solvent on leather, too. However, I have used denatured alcohol on leather shoes that didn't fit perfectly in some spots. I soaked the leather and it was softened and more pliable. As far as I can tell, there was no negative effect on the leather (they were cowhide shoes). Of course, I applied a lot of leather conditioner afterwards.
