Dunno issit coz of the cold weather, or its the trend there now.

kiwi is gd for leather meh?
I rem last time in ns i will apply alot for my boots lah. But i recall ppl saying that its actually not that gd for leather de, dunno true or not...

But then again, my ns boots till now still standing tough since tekong day1.

 

[karyaC]

if i tell u too much mink oiling actually damages leather... u believe me mah?

 

[mikeeeey]

Anything that is too much is no good. This is the general rule of life. Be it boots or your body. Vitamin C is good for health. But if you take 20 x 1000mg pills everyday, confirm backfire..

anyways, moi leather care routine

wash (with bit of leather shampoo & water) > mink oil > sun dry > wax

oiling and wxing done while watching TV...

 

[cowculator]

eh... U might want to skip the sundry part, if what u mean is that u put them under direct sunshine.

Let them dry naturally under airy but sheltered spot. More leathers are killed by people putting them under direct sun or near a heat source like a fireplace.

 

[karyaC]

nah... it's late afternoon sun, bit of sunshine's good for the leather and my feet.

 

[kazuki666]
