A word of warning
HOWEVER, if you take your favorite well-worn black leather jacket to the dry cleaner to be sent out to the leather cleaner of 50 years' standing, apparently you should expect it to come back not only clean but with the black coating all touched up, obliterating your jacket's hard-won patina.
Fortunately, the rest of the world is none the wiser and, frankly, doesn't give a damn about what you thought was your jacket's hard-won patina.

I bought a nice, brown leather jacket in November, on which I promptly spilled ham juice. If I still lived with my mom she'd be giving me the, "That's why I don't buy you nice things," speech.
Maybe you could take the doggie approach and put on your nicely restored jacket and rub up against a tree or roll aound in the grass.
To R.J.: my mom use to say "(sign) I can't ever have anything nice." I think it's part of the "Mom Manual" they hand out at the hospital.
I'm not sure I've ever been less excited by a suggestion that I "take the doggie approach." SFX
ham juice? ham juice. ham. juice. ham juice!
You know, there's really no telling which posts are going to elicit the comments.
The BBC would like to apologize for the quality of writing in a preceding comment. It is not BBC policy to get easy laughs with words like "bum", "knickers", "botty", "wee-wees" or "doggie approach."
