Hey guys,
I've already done a search, and found a similar thread, but unfortunately it was quite old, and the picture guide has since been deleted.
I've got some RO side zips in black, that I've always wished were suede, so after looking around online I've found a few different ways to do create a similar style (nubuck), trouble is, some advice seems to be conflicting...
My plan at the moment is to get some rubbing alcohol, and sandpaper them.
Obviously I'm wary as they're expensive boots, but I rarely/never wear them as it is, so no loss, right?
Does anyone have any experience in essentially turning leather into nubuck, and does my plan sound ok, or does anyone have any last 'please dont do it' pleas..?
Cheers
edit: I forgot to add, if/when I go ahead with it, I'll be sure to give before, during and after pictures
