Does anyone know how Eastman does their time worn look to their jackets in their .50 cal collection?

Yes but I am sworn to secrecy


LoL well then can you throw out suggestions that doesnt give away the secret but still sends me in the right direction?

ALSO administrators I accidently posted this in the jacket art/ patches I meant to put this in the "How To" section, if you could move it thatd be most helpful.

My guess would be the use of a very fine pads for the seams so that stiching is not damaged. The main panels perhaps lightly rubbed using 1000 g paper. Horsehide areas on B-3's distressed using acetone.
Crumpled newspaper and vigorous rubbing also work.
It could be some or none of these!
