I spent the night on the costume. I managed to get the chaps polished up. I like the look but I'll probably still tumble them around a bit for good measure and see what the look like from there. Weathered then polished on the left, just weathered on the right.
While I had the polish out, I figured I'd hit the jacket too. Many folks have complained that the jacket is too red, and I have also disliked how "red" the jacket is. I figured if I hit it with a little black shoe polish I could adjust the color some. I'm pretty pleased with the results so far. I will still age the jacket some by tumbling it with some rocks then I may polish it again. Here's a couple shots of the jacket. On on the front the polished side is on the left, in the picture of the back of the jacket the polished side is on the right.
What do you all think?
