What to use for leather dressing

[pat i.]

Yesterday I received two pairs of moccasins from The Stichin' Scotsman. Can I ask what people are finding best to use for leather dressing that'll darken them a bit and offer protection?

I have been using mink oil for everything from leather dressin to patch lube,

Let's see now, shoot canoes, arm squirrels, now putting dresses on moccasins. I don't know if I like the direction this forum is taking, maybe it's time to take a jug or two away from our peerless leaders. Just sayin'.



(Mineral oil and melted bees wax and melted paraffin in equal parts has worked for me for years.)

If you put it on the OUTSIDE it's dressing. If you put it on the INSIDE it's STUFFING!

Mink oil, Dubbin, Neatsfoot oil all help keep the leather supple and moist and help waterproof.
