Has anyone used this type of product to fill stitch holes?

might be worth a shot. can you do a test somewhere else on the jacket in question or another piece of leather? I have had pretty good luck wetting an area with stitch holes and then working them closed with my fingers.

I'm skeptical. A few years ago I tried a method some VLJer had reported good results with: Barge brand shoe cement. It didn't work - just rolled out of the holes like rubber cement.

I'm thinking nothing really works. Leather is resilient in good and bad ways. Once damage is done, the damage is resilient, too.

I would try CBI's method then maybe try a very small amount of super glue, just a small drop per hole. This works well on wood but be cautious.

I have tried it on tears.It works well,but the finish is like new,so no good if you need an aged look

I wet the stitch holes and used a hammer to flatten the leather....the result was preety good!..the holes are barley visible now!...I think the fact that the jacket is a Lost Worlds Dubow may have helped as the leather so thick!
