I figured out a way to fill and subdue any imperfections in the process. It is not an absolutely perfect solution because if you know I did it, you will always see it. BUT, others who don't know I fixed it, never will. I don't mean as to deceive, but to make a jacket with MG holes all over it presentable and serviceable once again, take the ugly away. Basically what I do is very similar to auto body work. The materials I used are hand mixed from exterior grade adhesives, my own potion. Then I will fill, sand, and match the color as best I can to airbrush into the existing color. I do the best I can however it's gotta be done. The following photos will show an example of crushed leather from very tight stitching, the hardest to disguise, needing to wrinkle otherwise smooth leather was my solution. Another was a dumb mistake on my part sewing shoulder patches on the wrong sleeves, an Eastman. I told the owner, he said something like " my ass puckered up tight as a drum" I was so worried about the whole thing that I lost sleep. This sped up the research and development of fixing holes. He was very happy with the results considering he shouldn't have had to deal with it in the first place. The following is a link to a slide show, not really in order but you'll get the idea.
