Thought it might be interesting to show what 20 plus years of wear looks like on an Aero Redskin. With the closeup front collar shot, can anyone spot the error, just scroll through the album for the piccies.

Wow, that thing looks almost new!!! Mine has tons of finish wear and peeling, especially under the arms, where they rub the body.

Looks amazing,

Thanks for sharing this! It looks great.
Can you tell which kind of usage/ to what extent did it get?

I am fairly careful with my sheepskins. I try not to to get it wet. I usually only wear it between October and April, it was treated with a lanolin type dressing every couple of years.

Thanks for the answer!

Can I ask which lanolin containing product is it? I have Leather CPR.

Would Pecard antique dressing / lotion be suitable for sheepskin?
I have an Aero B3 (2 yrs old, worn 5 times briefly) and it's good to know.

Connolly hide food is what I used, not tried Pecards yet.
