Which leather dressings do you use?
« on: November 22, 2010, 03:38:00 PM »
I would like to know which leather dressings you TGer's use for protecting you arm guards, shooting gloves, knife sheafs, boots, etc.

I just bought some Mink Oil, but was wondering if there is a better product out there.

         Thanks, Jim

I really like Obenauf's Heavy Duty Leather Protector.  Good stuff, all natural.

I like Montana Pitch Blend. It is mink oil with bees wax and pine pitch and I use it on everything leather I own. 3Rivers(a sponsor) sells it or maybe at your local sporting goods store.

I got introduced to the Australian Leather Dressing  years ago and have stuck with it.

Gotten expensive, but it lasts. The MT Pitch Blend has a lot of mink oil which really softens leather...

...in some instances, that's desireable. In others, not so much, ergo my switch to the Aussie stuff.
