Hi, any idea if it is possible to get these looking new again? (They are not mine, but would go well with the Bostrom rep if they could be restored at a reasonable price) And if yes... Any recommendations and approximate cost?
Get some beeswax, the sort they sell you at bike shows, to waterproof your boots. Hides a multitude of sins. Can't do much about the stitching though.
Leathers look better with a worn look, as opposed to the just out of the showroom poseur look. ive them a clean with some soapy water and treat them a a little beeswax
I think you'll just have to put that down as battle scars. I have had crashed leathers dealt with by Dainese in the past, but they just replace the scuffed panels. There's not a lot else you can do. It's not necessarily a bad look, but make sure you have some worn sliders with them or you just look like an arse!

Used nine lives to adjust a 2 and 1 piece now and have to say he does do a very good job. Really nice guy too, although like you say he does get very busy (which is generally a very good recomendation on it's own).
get some Saddle Soap from a horsey type place - works wonders and conditions the leather too and is only few quid for a big ol tub
