Jacket Scratch Repairs |
||||
|
During the course
of my
accident
, my leather
jacket was severely scuffed and scratched. Being the frugal? guy I am, I decided to try to repair (or cover) the damaged areas. I decided to try a little black shoe polish to cover the deep scratches. I broke out the can of Kiwi brand black shoe polish. On the can are the words "Water Resistant and Leather Nourishing". Perfect. I used a small cloth and began working the polish into the scratches. I think it worked quite well as evidenced from the photos below. Over time, I'm sure the jacket will require a little touchup (just like dress shoes), but hey, it beats throwing the jacket away! Check out the pics below. |

| As
it turns out, one week later, I received a replacement jacket for Christmas '99. Kris had already ordered it and it was en route while she watched me polish the damaged jacket. I think she was as surprised and pleased at the outcome of the repairs as I was, but she didn't let on that I would soon find a new one under the Christmas tree. Now I have two. One new and one "almost new". <grin> So, polish away those scratches. Go ahead, it won't hurt! |
