might rub off with fingers. rubbing alcohol, you can even use clear tape to carfully pull the tape off. No worries if some of the dark finish comes off, that is an easy fix.

Thank you for your support and reactions ! I know that I will never be at your level , that's not my goal. But just getting a result as good as possible , and without exceed my money means ! Taht's sometimes trereaky ( as you can see for the replacement knits thread for example ) .

what you could try do do now to minimize the holes size is dampen the leather a little around the holes and gently "hammer" the holes to close them ( the round end of a Ball peen hammer works well) . Can also rub with pressure using the back of a spoon to help close the holes .

You can also use some leather filler to fill the holes . White wood glue mixed with some shoe shine could help too . Use a toothpick to fill the holes with the mix then hammer the stitch and rubb gently with a the back of a spoon till the holes look closed . You need to let the mixed filler dry and rub the excess.. then add a bit of leather cream the goal is to get the right colour. Believe me it works on small areas.

this can work well, but can be a little daunting for someone less experienced. Can also make a mess if nit done properly. The sort of thing that is best practiced first on scrap before attempting on a jacket for first time , especially in a very prominent position such as chest .

Yes agree you need to practice first on a" test" piece of leather Took me a while to have that kind of repair done properly .. another thing to consider is the size of the hole made by the needle when stitching ... and most of the time repair is always visible....
