Got mine OGL but too bad can't post it here...

 

[Toby88]

if i m not wrong, brass originally quite bright when new (just like gold).
after time and prolong usage, will season and get darker ( become "la sap").
some like like, some don't.

reminds me of how my silver coloured beads became like brass in the end.

come in leather experts!

ok, someone posted a question asking about protecting and waterproofing leather... actually, i'm also learning, so here it goes...

let's say i have two black leather jackets, one in sheepskin and another in calfskin.

which leather care products would you recommend in this instance?

if the leather care product does not waterproof as good, which waterproofing product is good? i've read online to avoid wax and silicone based products.

is kiwi really that bad? does it block the pores on the leather? well, truth is, i've already used it to fix the leather colour blemish problem the other day... it looks okay, not sure if i've already done some invisible damage though...

then there's the question of porous and non-porous leather i've read somewhere... too much to learn

many thanks in advance!

owning a beautiful leather product is one thing...

but knowing how to care for it is something else...

any learned soul that knows and would like to share?

For leather apparel, main concern is to keep it clean, becoz you dun wear it often in sgp
get some leather cleaning spray (non silicone or petroluem base) and a brush, constantly brushing and cleaning. Store in air tight bag(if u only wear during winter overseas) no need to mink becoz most apparel comes with lining whispered made of cotton or silk
Take a look at he care tag inside, check what is recommended for maintaining.
Also show some pics of ur jackets, maybe using nubark calfleather which is another form of maintenance.
