    How do you turn inside out the sleeves (slim) of a leather jacket?

    I have a used leather jacket that I want to turn the sleeves inside out for cleaning. I tried to do it (with the cuffs zipped up) but the sleeves are too slim and the leather is too tough. The cuffs have zippers that I can unzip but I'm afraid it might scratch the leather when trying to turn it...

    If I'm looking to buy a used leather jacket for brands like Freewheelers, Real McCoy's, Himel Bros, Field Leathers, etc. do I need to be wary of people selling low quality knockoffs? Are fakes of these brands common? What are things I should be looking for if I want to avoid fakes?

    Are these lines (scars?) natural to the leather?

    I was just browsing the internet and found this. The surface of this leather jacket got me curious. Under the two chest zippers there are many lines/scars. Are those supposed to be scars that existed on the animal's hide before it became leather? Or is it something that happens over time as the...

    Can someone post pictures of a dry (but not cracked) leather jacket that needs conditioner vs one that does not need it?

    I've heard that you should condition your leather jacket after 20 years, if it gets wet, or if it looks dry but I'm not sure what a dry leather jacket would look like. I want to be able to spot the dryness and condition it before it starts cracking. Does anyone have pictures comparing dry and...
