      I'd recommend applying this (or similar thick paste and oil) with a latex glove or something on one hand. I've found it really helps get a more even layer across the leather when bare hands aren't involved. Ymmv

        @Oaktavia yeah. I’d say if you’ve waited as long as you could possibly wait to condition then go for it.

        I bought my jacket nearly three years ago, so it's overdue.

        Kinda wish I didn’t treat mine sometimes.

        As in waited longer to treat it? Or not treated it all? They have to be treated at some point though. Otherwise they won't last and will look like an old forgotten jacket in a thrift store or attic. Maybe that's the idea...

        But also I remember being ready too when I actually did, but it was a lot sooner than you’ve waited.

        I think I likely waited too long but hopefully it'll be OK.

            @Oaktavia oh 100% dude. You know when it’s time it’s time. I think that the orangish hue it takes on after treating it is something that I wish had more of a caramel brownish tint. I think I mostly wonder if I’d waited longer and let it untreated if it would have gone more that way. Or it may just be the way this leather is that it will take on that peach / orange tone.

            In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

              @Mizmazzle there are parts of my jacket that are quite dark. I am curious how those areas will turn out when I treat it. We will soon find out the answer to your query. Il take many before and after shots.

                  I finally treated my jacket today using Mustang Paste. Phew! That took longer than I expected. All of the creases and stitching really take time to work the paste into. I used the entire jar and was worried it wouldn't be enough. It seemed to be the perfect amount when I was all through. The leather looks better in areas that appeared heavy with patina that gave off almost a greenish hue. This is now muted with the treatment. Looks more distinguished than before.

                            I remember having to work out all that paste from the thread seems. Bit of a project. But worth it in the end.

                                      No plans for this specific bare back due to leather availability but the forthcoming tail gunner is very similar:

                                        Hello IHUK Team. Hoping that since Tail Gunner and Big Buck have made their reappearances, maybe this one will also be on the list for a reissue?
