But howcome it seems that most people use the columbus mink oil instead of the red wing one?

 

[goat1991]

I dunno lol.. maybe columbus more value for money? but from what i know, mink oil are juz fats taken from Mink.

Maybe columbus's Mink everyday eat better food than Red Wing's ? LOL

but anyway i am using columbus mink oil from mustafa... $7.90

So does that mean its correct to wear for 3 mths without oiling and then oiled it after that?

Buy new -> wear -> oiled
Is more correct than
Buy new -> oil -> wear

From post #9 in this thread, it seems to say that mink oil is not good for leathers?

 

[karyaC]

oiling does not make leather repel water, waxing does... just fyi

I think is up to individual, like uncle soh once told me, if you want it darker you oiled it for the effect, but some like it raw so just leaved it till you want to oil it. =)
