Default Fiebings Mink Oil

Fiebings is a Producer of Quality Leather Care Products. My Local leather shop which has done a lot of work for me from Patches to Saddlebags recommends this highly. Fiebings Mink Oil Liquid is actual a mix of Mink Oil, Silicone, Lanolin, and Neatsfoot Oil. Softens Preserves anf WaterproofsFirst tried it on my Boots. Looked real good so tried it on Leather Pants again fine so did vest and jacket as well. so went ahead and tried it on Mustang Vinatge Wide Seat.The Seat now shines like the moon and soft as a Babys Butt, and the way it rains in Florida nice to have the waterproof factor as well....

I have used Mink Oil before on my boots, then cooked them for 15 minutes at 200 degrees.

Water proofed the heck outa them.

Benn using it all my life. Was taught by my dad. Best for sealing seams in boots, gloves, etc. is a product called snow seal, or bee's wax.

Good stuff for new garments....I wouldn't use it on antique stuff though. Mink attacks the older cotton(?) thread. Example: '69 Langlitz = NO MINK.

Also, wouldn't bake my leather boots lol, hard on the leather. Better to get the grease hot and apply to room temp boots.

For boots I use a combination of pine tar and bee's wax marketed as Huberd's
