The color in the panel you treated does show up nicer. Treating the B-3 sounds like a great idea in case you wear it in snow or rain. I have two B-3s even less accurate than yours- an Avirex and an Excelled. I still love them though. I bought them to look/fit good and keep me warm, not to be stitch-perfect replicas.

i use a product from fiebers called bag kote. the bag kote has a similar result. the surface ends up with a luster that can be polished to a sheen. repeat applications will give more of a sheen. this stuff works really well on the latest elc "broken grain" b-3s. it turns the red skin panels from that dead matte finish to a surface that has depth, and brings out the color subtleties. so far i have not detected any fissures in the surface, and suspect that the stuff is stable. i wore my elc perry in a driving rain yesterday, and the day before, and the bag kote seems to be a nice water repellent as well. use as directed. this product may cause insomnia, diarrea, coughing fits, spasms, psoriasis, hiccups, uncontroled laughter, eye fatigue, etc. if any of these symptoms occur consult your physician, or local boo dealer. kidding. the stuff is easy to use, and does not appear to be in the least bit toxic. a happy, healthy, prosperous new year, one and all. v

Similar product Kiwi Clearshine. Acrylic wax dries in 2 minutes to a shine when buffed. I find the dull matt finish not quite to my taste and prefer the complex colours created when I use this product over Glytone.

On a serious note now...I have 8oz of Tan Kote coming by mail. I'm considering applying it to a US-Authentic AN-J-4, where the sheepskin finish has been "nubucked" by a previous owner who treated it with tack oil. Is TK the appropriate product here, and how should I apply it?

Brush, the easy way that works. Test it under the collar, or any inconspicuous place. Take an hour or so to dry to the touch. Use a blow dryer, maybe 25 seconds depending how thick the application is.

If marking is what you're concerned about, those little black foam brushes are the way to go. They are made just to put a very thin even coat without brush strokes. But covering a very textured finish like this isn't that critical and a cheap chip brush would do it, just watch out for stray bristles.
