Hi guys. Still new on doing my own customs. What grain sandpaper do you suggest? Going to Lowe's tomorrow.

Get a few different grains. Start weathering with the finest grain and go from there. And there is a BIG difference in weathering between a faux leather jacket and a real one so make sure what you have

Get some of the wet & dry grit sand paper. They usually come in a pack of about 20 with various grains.
You could try wetting the leather and wrinkling it, then letting it dry to try and create some creases.
Wetting it also gives it a better fit if you press it to the figure while wet, and let it dry.

Awesome. I appreciate the advice.

Also, be carecful not to sand heavily over the stitching. This will loosen it and can cause the seams to come apart.

Most cool
I definitely appreciate any and all help I can get. I own lots of customs but haven't done many myself.
