Hello dear friends of old jackets,
my name is Georg and I come from Germany. Sorry for my English.
I am 50 years old and bought an old Irvin jacket. It is not from WW2 but still several decades old. My problem is the following.
The jacket is hard and would have to be cared for with grease or oil.
Be that as it may, the jacket is coated on the outside with a dark brown, rubbery paint.
The coating is perfectly fine, so that no oil comes close to the leather for nourishment. How can i still reach the leather?
I thought about the following.
What do you think of this approach?
Could I use a thin syringe to use the e.g. filled with a lanolin oil is there some oil between the fur on the leather?
This work would be very tedious because I would have to treat the entire jacket from the inside at a distance of one centimeter with the syringe, but maybe there is a much better way to care for the leather. I thank you in advance for tips.
