Search only came up with "mink oil".
Do any of you have leather foul-weather boots? I have an old pair which I am restoring, they were originally waterproof Pittards leather with a goretex lining. The lining still works to keep out the elements, but the leather's original water-beading capabilities have gone out the window, it kind of just soaks everything up now.
Also it was extremely dried out over the years, I recently put some lexol on it which removed what tiny bit of surface beading capabilities that might have been left. So now it's ready for some waterproofing.
I was perusing the Lincon Repellent but I haven't heard of any one using it. I'm trying to avoid the greasy finish if possible.
