Default Leather Jackets/ Patches

I recently had a patch sewed on the back of my leather jacket and now I'm kind of wishing that I hadn't. My question is this: If I take it off will you be able to see the pin holes in the leather? Has anybody had this problem before? Any help will be appreciated.

a leather guy told me once to just wipe a little bee's wax into the holes and hit it with a little shoe polish, then buff it out and the holes will go away.

It will be pretty noticeable. No patches on my jacket. I put them on my vest.

They will be noticeable for a while, but if you treat the jacket with something like Lexol conditioner every few months you will notice them less and less over time.

On a somewhat related note...my nuts are itching...If I scratch them will they quit itching or will my fingers just smell like my nuts?......Has anybody had this problem before? Any help will be appreciated...:>)

Advance Auto Parts sells that product. I would think any leather conditioner would work about the same. I am curious too, which patch did you put on your jacket? It wasn't an expensive jacket was it?
