How did you treat for the SDA patch?

[poly800rock]

obeuf's leather conditioner. Otherwise it would completly crack ie. Mcflip's SDA's.

TIP told me about this thread, I didn't even know it existed. ALD patch treated with beewax:

[liquortine]

i use mink oil, it work fine for my lvc leathers, dry from hours to 3 days depending on leather condition, fresh leather dry slowest and retain minimal residue, seasoned leather retain almost no residue.

WOOOOOH! The best shots so far! I love the the Samurai S01101XJ patch the most.

Very very nice. Which camera did you use?

[synthi]

Thanks It's a Sony DSC-V3. Lighting to photography is what petrol is to cars. That + a tripod and really the cam won't matter is what i've learnt.

Pretty cool fact about leather patches that I didn't know, quoted from here.

The leather jeans patch was originally attached in order to polish the knife of working woodsman and trappers throughout the West.

For the most part, I let my patches be. I personally feel that letting them break in with the jeans shows hard work in wearing a pair of jeans.

"The leather jeans patch was originally attached in order to polish the knife of working woodsman and trappers throughout the West. Today it is a denim marketing tool and branding instrument which is a long way from the origins proposed by Samurai Jeans."

I read that before. Does that sound like it'd be kinda a tall tale, though. Couldn't they have used their belts to polish it? Of course, they might've had buckle-backs back then, but still... Wouldn't it have been better to place it somewhere they had easier view if that were the case?

What is the difference between the regular pecards and the boot dressing?

I want to grab some for my RW boots.

Just a quick question: If you wash your jeans in hot water the leather tag will shrink. How can you prevent that? (And still wash in hot water )

What does it mean?

[horriblyjollyjinx]

I've soaked my jeans hot many times, and put one pair in the dryer, without having the patches shrink or really change much at all. It's because the patches didn't take up much water as I treated them with beeswax before. Try something similar.

david: jag gissar på att han med fap fap menar "självtillfredställelse", han gillar verkligen jeans!
