I’m in the process of replacing seats in a vehicle with reproduction seats of the same style to preserve the originals for the owner. The request was to treat the new seats to achieve a worn “gloss” appearance of the originals blend with the similar aged/worn leather of the door panels/pulls and other trim bits that share the same appearance of the seats.

I’ve attached a photo of the new seat (on right) next to the original (left) to hopefully explain this better than I can put into words. As you can see from the photo, the new seats have a soft matte finish while the originals have a gloss appearance from 50 years of wear.

Would there be an appropriate topcoat or treatment to achieve this worn aesthetic to the new seats that you might sell?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
