Coach Rehab and Rescue Club

[Ravvie99]

Not vintage coach but because I learned how to take care of leather today I totally transformed my ankle boots! Left is left shoe before and the right shoe with leather CPR on. Hours later when both shoes were dry I applied Fiebing's Aussie leather conditioner. View attachment 3552906

Gah - love those [emoji7] What a transformation!

I still can't believe my own eyes! I can't believe I didn't know I could do this myself.. took me maybe 10 min of actual work.

A whole day free for rehabs = Murphy Day!
British Tan, Red, Mahogany, & Black. Still need Bottle Green (drool), Navy (meh), & Tan (meh).
Are there other colors I'm forgetting??

I have taupe that I posted here before. It has that one spot under the bottom I still haven't tried fixing. I might try the acrylic blend someday.

@Ravvie99 I see Burgundy. Bright Red is on eBay now if you want it. Lol!

You're right - my eyes saw Taupe but my fingers decided to type Tan...
My red is pretty bright, like Geometric Bag red, it's just really wet and poorly lit.
Does Murphy come in Burgundy - you're playing with my emotions, lol! I'm missing some catalogs so I can't tell for sure. That would be even better than red!

OK so I saw taupe and your said it was tan so I went with it thinking it is really taupe when wet! Lol! The red one looks Burgundy here to me.. but a really bright red one is on eBay for sale now...

Not sure if the Murphy came in Burgundy, but sometimes I have seen people list a bag as brown that I definitely think is oxblood or dark maroon or what some call it cordovan

 

[Ravvie99]

Speaking of Geometric Bag red...! I've done a dunk, 3x CPR, and 1x BR. I'll probably do another coat of BR and someday I might cover that tiny pen mark and spot. Or I might just call them beauty marks and be done [emoji846]

ETA: @houseof999 I think the dark maroon/cordovan is the Mahogany - I know Murphys came in that color.

I love those boots! They look fantastic!

 

[houseof999]

Thanks! They are Franco Sarto Quasar. Few years old.

Three sad girls. That is glue on the last one. Any ideas for lifting? There is also some light pen on the first.

Maybe try the LM dye transfer remover with a fine artist brush on the ink? I have no ideas on the glue [emoji51]
