Water on an A2. Any help?

[rob20uk]

Have you any thoughts on how to fix water stains on an A2?

This is an Eastman jacket by the way. I have a hunch you are just going to say use it and it will eventually fade out.

SADDLE SOAP and SAPO CREAM

SAPO CREAM

Exactly, I have two tins of sapo here, wonderful stuff, after, the rain will just bounce off, use it on my boots

Was there more than H2O in that "water?" I wouldn't think straight water would stain like that.

Typical for so called vegy tanning and a glas of white wine or beer dropping on it…Water/bio soap will clean it….. plus a bit of leather balm.

No, I bet it has more to do with aniline dying. I've worn my veg-tanned ELC 1401 in driving rain with no adverse effect, but it's spray-dyed and practically bullet proof.

I think I would wear it in the rain then come indoors and continue to wear it until it dries then check the stain to see if it has evened out.

Try rubbing humid cotton swabs over the area and see if you can blend the stain back into the leather. Rubbing a dab of Vaseline could also do the trick if the stain is not too tenacious.

Brice has it in a nutshell as usual. He's also owned more of these jackets than most people have had hot dinners.

Wise advice from one of the real Jedi Masters of jackets on here so worthwhile taking note of.
