My boyfriend is flying from Europe to the U.S. tomorrow and there’s a abbrasion (wear) mark (about 2 inches wide) on his leather coat from carrying a heavy backpack. This abbrasion has made the leather in this area lighter brown than the rest of the coat. I don’t have one of those leather repair kits you see on TV. Has anyone ever tried using shoe polish on a leather coat? Or where in the states can you buy a leather repair kit. Please specify the store names.

And one more question. I have a white leather jacket with a blue pen mark. I’ve tried “Quick n Brite” and stain remover for pens. It doesn’t come out. Any suggestions? If you scrub too hard you damage the leather.

What type of shoes should I bring to Europe?

I am going on a backpacking trip so space is VERY limited.
I am already bringing out pair of good quality walking sandals, and another tiny pair of sandals for showers and the beach.
It seems foolish not to bring real shoes, but I already am bringing a pair of sandals that work for walking long distances, and its summer…
Any suggestions?

I do a lot of traveling, and I’d like to find a nice pair of shoes to buy to wear to clubs in Europe and maybe South America. A lot of clubs have no tennis shoes/sneakers policies.
One thing I really lack in my wardrobe are shoes.
What are some nice shoes that go good with a pair of jeans?

I’ll be in Europe, and they are a little more stylish than the USA. Something timeless and classic would be nice.
Thanks in advance!
