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.

you punch holes in leather, its permanent. Use to sell some vinyl goop stuff to repair leather but i havent seen it in years.

I figured that , but how noticable is it?

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?
