I would probably wash it and scrub a little dawn first. Then only bring out the big guns to try like alcohol or acetone if I can't get it off in a more gentle way.
I used to use fabric fusion and I have found it doesn't always hold that well.. Sometimes it was okay. Now I'm using some leather glue that is really good that I picked up at Orchards. This is the best glue I've ever used for leather IMO.

This stuff is bad, doesn't hold at all and isn't waterproof either:

Okay, so my rehab pile is on the low side. I could not resist, even though lol the ink stain makes me think I should have! 
Came this morning.
Edited to add, at least it is not chewed!

Here are my mystery neutrals. I think the first one is putty, and the second - tabac, but then there are two more yellow ones.
Hi Ladies,
I'm hoping to get some advice about a shearling jacket. We have a local leather shop and I talked to them about cleaning my shearling jacket that is leather on the inside. They said it was $150. Wow, sticker shock. They said, don't take it to a dry cleaner because dry cleaning will hurt the jacket - I buy that. But, is there some thing I can do that is NOT $150 to clean it. The shearling is on the inside of the jacket and I wear it with Tee-shirts all the time, so it just has gotten dirty from lots of use on the inside.
I know this forum is about bags, but I thought you all might know a thing or two about this. Thanks!

I don't think I would wash it. The leather might get stiff. Maybe you could just wash the furry part. https://customsheepskinjackets.com/about-sheepskin-outerwear/shearling-leather-care-cleaning
I know leather cleaning is expensive. When I lived in Maine, they shipped the items to Canada for cleaning I think because of chemicals.
When I used to travel to Santa Fe, there were some shops that sold shearling coats. Maybe call them and see what they recommend or if they can give you some guidance. The store is called Overland Sheepskin Company and their phone number is (505) 986-0757. Their website: www.overland.com has some info but not very much about cleaning. Maybe there is someone they recommend and it may be cost effective to ship it to that vendor to clean? Just a thought....

Thanks all! Overland has this a page on care - https://www.overland.com/customer-care/sheepskin-cleaning-care.aspx#sheepskincare
They said to send the jacket to here http://www.arrowleathercare.com/
Looks like it will be around $50. I can deal with that.
Cheers

Hi, all! I purchased this pitiful bag for a song and it came in today. I knew it had been abused so expected the worst. After a few coats of conditioner, it looks 100 times better but just curious if you think it can be improved by a good dunking. It still seems very dry around the edges and there’s some minor color loss. For the deal I got, I can deal with minor imperfections though.

Wow what a difference a few licks of conditioner makes! I wouldn't dunk it unless it's dirty inside. Looks nice now.
Gorgeous bag and a great find! I would only wash it if it was dirty and I wanted to make sure that it is clean. How does the lining look?
Did you try applying Blackrock's leather n rich? That usually does a great job of hiding imperfections and color loss. You have to apply it very lightly, let it absorb and then buff it. If you still see imperfections and color loss you can lightly apply another coat. If you apply it too heavily it feels tacky and sticky. I use a horsehair shoe brush to buff it.
But I am sure that you know all this already because you are a dedicated rehabber, beautiful color on that bag!
