    damage your leather



    anybody know how to get rid of that new crappy leather look?




    I bought some shoes that have that shiny new business salesman type leather,




    i want to break them down completely and make them rugged.




    i washed them about 5 times and it turned most of it a light black and a little rougher but i need more damage!

    Somebody on this forum months ago (not long after the inception of SZ) bought some really nice brogues or some laceup and beat them up a la Harnden. He had a bit of a "how-to" written as well. You'll just have to dig around. He had photos as well!

          thanks...




          i kind of got the same effect by just washing them and soaking them in water, and letting them dry in the sun.




          its almost the exact same effect. it went from shiny black, to really light beat up gray.
