Thanks all for supporting us
The write-up is wonderful, appreciated.
Some clarification for leather care. (I understand from the read from last 2 pages, some have queries and still unsure)
Mink oil, Obeneuf Heavy Duty, Neatsfoot oil, are some popular leather oil people use for
Natural Veg Tan leather. You can apply using hand or rags, it's up to you.
For us, we recommend mink oil, any brand you can get, it will be fine. It is cheaper and easily accessible to everyone from local store to online.
Oiling leather is a maintenance, you dont need to do it regularly. For me, I oil my Red Wings once a year, my Veg Tan wallet 6 monthly, my other leather stuff once a year.
With the humid weather in Singapore, you dont need to oil them so often. Because I'm living in a much dryer country, that's why I have a routine oiling maintenance for my leathers.
Aging leathers
Yes, oiling does not age your leathers. It is the usage that aged them. The more you use them, the better it gets.
Suntanning
Natural Veg Tan leathers changes the colour. Some people likes dark, golden and deep brown, some likes the original. It is not a must to do it, it is how you want you leather to look.
Alot of time, leather is just like Denim. They are better looking when they gets older.
Is oiling only applicable to Natural Veg Tan Leathers?
Not exactly. Processed Cowhide leathers need oiling too, but not as often. Because they are professionally processed at the tanneries, their surfaces are thoroughly oiled and coated with colour dye. Thus, can be very lasting as compare to Natural Veg Tan.
As the name suggest, Natural Veg Tan are at their most natural state. They are naked and exposed. Oiling them will keep them from dryer up.
