Hi, How do I apply the the RS Tongue to a good, but thin, leather jacket?

You could sew it - ironing on to leather is not a good idea- unlikely to last and will leave damage

At the very least you'd have to use the No 5 leather milk; I'm pretty sure that one is for automotive leather. I'd suggest contacting Chamberlain's directly. They are very responsive and might have some good advice.

My advice for what it is worth: Since my fiasco with Black Jacket (it kept coming off the leather and staining my clothing, chairs, etc.), I have learned quite a bit about various types of leather and leather jackets. My suggestion would be to try Pecard's leather conditioning on a small area that is not visible and see if it helps. The Pecard's might temporarily darken the leather a little but it eventually should return to normal. If you use Pecard's, follow the directions -- you are supposed to let it soak into the leather for at least 24 hours, if I recall correctly. If the black stuff is coming off the jacket now (try scraping a fingernail across it), don't use anything. Instead, bring it to a professional leather cleaners and they probably will have to clean it before you do any kind of treatment. For further research, check a web site forum called the "Fedora Lounge." In the section on outwear, they have a lot of information about leather jacket issues. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Unlike some other comments, I was able to use only one bar to cover my entire jacket. I still had some left. I bought three bars. So I am set for awhile now

Here's what I did and it worked fine. Wash garment as you usually do, spin dry, leave wet. Prepare your pail (about half-full of water for a jacket) and add 5 capfuls of waterproofing soak. Soak garment for about 10 minutes, kneading and squeezing thoroughly so that solution saturates every part of the garment. Squeeze out as much water as you can. Put garment in dryer on medium heat until dry. You only "dry" it once.

I would suggest using fine steel wool and the clear coat very light coats....

Steven, I used an old T-shirt, rubbed the first three applications in pretty robustly. I have a total, I believe, of 5 coats on now and it's a luxurious finish, soft to the touch and the two times I've used it, it cleaned up very nicely. My table/cart with the butcher block top is new so those are the only apps I've given it thusfar.I like it a lot!Ed Blum

I'm not an expert, and it doesn't specifically mention it on the product. However it feels and looks the same as my leather jacket, if that helps at all.

Set some light fire to it and the real leather wouldn't melt, and the light blemish washes off fast. Fake leather would be caked. That's what my old folks taught me. :)

I just bought this item so I haven't yet tried it out, however, on other screen protectors for my smartphone, when they didn't feel quite as slick as I had hoped, I simply used a little 'Endust' or 'Pledge' furniture polish and rub on with soft, microfiber cloth and it does the trick for my finger and either a rubber-tipped or mesh stylus beautifully. Hope this trick helps those complaining about the rubbery feel of the screen protectors. :o)

I have used it on light gray and light tan. I love it. I have used it for years and it is very good for the leather. If the leather is shiny a light buff is nice but not necessary. It will work with bonded leather as well. I probably have used it on a white leather jacket but I can't be sure. I would test but I can not see a reason you would have a problem.

It is a soft paste (at ordinary room temperature). When applied, it becomes liquid-like so as to fill every tiny crevice in the leather. This is a truly incredible treatment!

I have only tried it on smooth or pebbled leather. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Wrap a cloth around it and use a pair of pliers around it. Remember: Righty tighty, lefty loosy.

There is a thin layer of leather over three thin sponge layers which you can remove a layer or two to get the height you need.

Lexol is safe for all leather! You should be totally safe to use it on your jacket. Lexol is a great product; been using it since I was a kid.

Any kind of smooth leather. You can't use it on kind of leather with a fur or hair on the surface like nybuck. I have used it since 1968 when we used it on football shoes. Works great on any smooth leather
