I'm very new to the forum but have been a long time reader. Love the films and have taken it upon myself to start a small prop collection in homage to my childhood hero. Harrison Ford, like every hero type men want to be him and wives also want their husbands him!
I Recently acquired an indy style jacket and was wanting opinions on weathering techniques if anyone has done it with lamb before.
It's a USWINGS Lightweight Lambskin and it was an xxl but I gave it the washing machine warm and dryer warm treatment to shrink the jacket to a size in between XL and XXL... fits great now very happy. Was curious on how to age it... I'm planning on wetting the sleeves again and wearing them rolled up to get that nice striated sleeve look, just didn't how know how to go about aging everything else..
I also have a Akubra Adventurer on its way(much to the dismay of the wife) and wanted to know how you gentleman got rid of that boring flat felt new look. I want this thing bashed and dirty but still presentable for daily wear. It isn't going to be a hat on a stand kinda prop.
I also made a whip holder and learned how to crack a whip! I love learning new skills just didn't think leather worker would be one of them!
Hope some of you can help! I'm excited to be posting here the first time and very excited to hear what everyone thinks... I'll post a few pics of gear, including my now extreme taper Dorfman! Thanks!
