sometimes it´s easier if you don´t care too much about different things and just wear the shit out of everything you own…i don´t think that they´ve oiled their leather patches back then in the wild wild west

I'm just worried the leather might dry up and crack.

that is why you should oil when needed…don´t make it a big deal though! it´s simple as feck!…

This. Just treat your leather as you would a house plant. Feed it from time to time, keep it out of direct sun and watch it flourish.

I've been impressed with Obernauf's Heavy Duty LP which you can apply easily by hand on your boots, patches and belt. Giles sells it.

So, how often should I oil my leather patch?

i think it's almost the same thing as it is with soaking/washing a pair of jeans! so whenever you feel the urge to oil your patch…go ahead

Wait, when?

Anybody recommend a something to get my flannels smelling fresh again aside from Dr.Bonners soap? Nothing against them, it's just I don't believe I have time to handwash my flannels right now. Would Woolite work? Total noob when it comes to this.

woolite will work.  you could also use unscented detergent and put a few drops of some pleasant smelling essential oils into the water.  I use peppermint oil.  But dr. bronners is not restricted to handwashing.

Or just throw a dryer sheet, a slightly damp cloth, and your flannel into the dryer and tumble low heat for a few minutes.

Cheers, Adam. Just the answer I was looking for. I was thinking of dropping some oils but I didn't know if it'll do harm to the fabric. Cool cool, thanks again!
