I'll hijack my own post.

Latest work 714th BS, although the kid loves it, I'm not over the mood.

Any skilled artists here who can tell me how to give that "new" patch a vintage look?

OK coffee it is. Care to be more specific on the how?
I use Angelus acrylic paint on leather.

Paint a test pattern on a piece of leather that you use and let it dry completely. Then put it in a plate or bowl and pour some cold coffee or tea over it and let it sit for a while until you get the desired look. If it all turns out ok ..Then do the patches you want to age . EZ…. PZ .
