Thank you in advance, I'm starting to forget about them slowly but I'm curious what they say.
6 hour round trip drive wise yesterday & Byson really seem to know their stuff, having alterations on 3 jackets. I asked about stitch holes & this is what was said:
“Not easy. It is SOMETIMES possible to fill the holes with a specialist heat cured filler & then carefully re-colour but if the leather is well conditioned the fills can pop back out again. It only works sometimes.”

Thank you for asking first of all. I might try the putty @navetsea suggested but not in a rush to do it as it doesn't bother me much.
Don't. Really. It's a waste of time, money, material, etc.
yeah it's the back of the forearm, if you check your jackets, that panel is the most pristine of any creases, almost looking new, it may get scratched from table surface but it almost never get wrinkled or creased, so while this is only theoretical it might work on that part, if it would be elsewhere with lots of movements then maybe it will fail. just in theory though I never apply it on jacket as none of mine requires it.
The reason for that is the shape of the needle used to sew the garment/patch. Leather needles, (needles for sewing leather,) are spear shaped to help cut the leather as the stitch is being formed. If you try to sew leather and faux leather with for example an ordinary size 110 needle the machine will struggle. So by using a leather needle the machine will be able to sew more easily.Holes soak everything up and end up visible again. There's just nothing that can be done.
