thanks a lot for the update G.
I have to say that I like the olive oil one the best…right after that, is the "none" sample!
how many times have you applied the oil now?

[Giles]

Can't remember, but every time I have, I have updated this thread….3 or 4 I think

[jimmy]

Love the golden brownish tinge on the olive oil version!

[zendeen]

wow love the olive oil color. look beautiful G.

[jimmy]

Yeah olive oil and nothing seem to do the job haha…

[madmonday]

wonder how much of a difference you would see with actual movement of the leather.  a belt or a patch on jeans bend & that's when they develop cracks & the like . . .

[Wavey_lenz]

Whats the white stuff inbetween the belt holes?

[corporalclegg]

just extra paste that accumulated in the holes while it was being applied and was not removed

LP for the win imo. Good to know, since that's what I use 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Mustang for the win IMO

As it also kinda preserves the natural color (compare with the untreated leather, closest in color) but it also maintain the leather and keeps it in good condition

[madmonday]

look at the difference around the holes.  "none" seems to be showing some weathering while the treated leathers still look pretty smooth.

whoops looked again the "ober oil" looks to have some creases as well  :-\

6 months go by quickly

[Finn666]

LP and olive oil ftw imo…

[derivative666]

Love the LP great stuff

[Moonshine]

I don't have a favorite just yet, but it seems the Mustang is the way to go if you want to preserve the natural color, and LP or OO if you want to go a bit darker and lastly, the Oil if you want to go darker still.

(I'm pretty good at stating the obvious, huh?)  Good stuff, G!
