: My, ahem, bonehead friend, (yeah, that's the ticket!) who slammed the car door on his jacket and dragged it a ways, is now wondering if there is a way to redarken the localized damaged spots...
: Anyone every *darken* a jacket? Any of you pre-distressed Wested owners do this by chance? (These are the folks I'd expect to have a go at it, but I'd love to hear from anyone!)
: TIA for any info I can pass on to my, um, friend!

You might try a local leather/crafts store and look for leather dye.
They come in a variety of colors and you could probably find one that
comes very close to the original color that existed before your
"friend" damaged it. Hope this helps.
