something almost horrible happened today...

wore one of my black leather RO jackets, came home, took it off, hung it on chair.

a while later I'm walking by the chair and I notice, huh?? there was all this blue on the back of my jacket, up high like between my shoulders. like I had sat against a bench with wet paint. I was very confused... the only place I had leaned up against was the subway benches or a bus seat. was it paint? was it some cleaning product on either surface that reacted weirdly with my jacket leather?

either way, it was bright blue. so I took some leather conditioner to it and voila, it came off no problem. the cloth I used to rub the lotion on it looked like I had been cleaning denim transfer off of something. so weird, but crisis averted.


I BET your heart was racing.....thank goodness that all's well.
So, what leather conditioner did you use???? And what RO leather averted tragedy (Ok, maybe a bit of an exaggeration.....)

I try not to be too precious about my stuff so I was trying not to freak out, kept telling myself, eh, it's a black jacket, no one will ever notice the blue unless I point it out. but then I kept looking at it and it just looked worse and worse. :laugh:

I used Apple Leather Conditioner, which by the way also took some white off the corners of one of my celine bags yesterday that must have rubbed up against a wall. which leather... the tag says LMOQ, whatever that means as it's not metallic at all. of all my leathers it's the smoothest, butteriest, and also quite thick.
 
I bought another one....

Should get here tomorrow!! I dont know whats wrong with me. Winter is over for me and it will be 80-95 degrees till next Decemeber...But I cant stop myself especially with a great deal! I used to Love Bal moto jackets (and still do) but there is just something so feminine about the RO. I guess I will just play dress up in my air condition until it can come out to play next year :)

Wow, glad everything was ok in the end. I probably would've passed out when I saw that. haha

Oooooo what did you get!!
 
oooh, Silky Lamb.....can't wait to see it!

AND - I also have something on its way as well......:graucho:


Ooooh Do tell. Is it a vest?

I am excited for the LS, i dont have a jacket in the brown family and ive been wearing my LB non stop

Question for anyone that has a LB...I have noticed spots that are rubbing (especially on the shoulder) Its almost like spots that look more leather like and less like that blistered fabric. It wouldnt bother me so much if the spots werent so big and noticeable, they are a lighter color/texture than the rest of the jacket. Has that happened to anyone here?
