        In the eyes of "The Taxman" they are like cash. My employer is about to get me something for my B-day, thought that voucher might be good, but it was no-no. Have to think about what to suggest to them then…they prolly could do a online purchase as well... 😉  I got to give them three wishes, one will be fullfilled...

                              Add a bit of lemon or citrus oil to your compound. The minor bits of citric acid are dormant in the oil but still neutralize the salt base. A trick I learned from my grandma

                                I don't understand why an acid would be necessary in neutralizing something that's soluble in water. It seems like a non-pH-neutral agent in leather would be corrosive.

                                Think it, be it.

                                  Partially right in that salt is water soluable, however salt when it dilutes can get in the pourous leather and strip natural oils. In a oil compound a small amount (about half a cap to 16oz of oil compound) of citric acid has no real noticeable effect on the leather. I oil a $2000 slab of wood (which is far more pourous) with straight lemon oil, and I have used same mix on winter footwear for years. You will notice the leather darkens a bit more, but otherwise no difference. I know a couple guys who even use it on saddles, and swear it prevents splitting.

                                    Any way to tell apart IHSH 20 Red and IHSH 72 Red visually?

                                      the snaps on the 72 say ironheart on them, the snaps on the 20 are just black.

                                      that is of course if you are talking about just a visual check.

                                      hope that info helps

                                          All right, someone point me in the right direction. I am looking for a hatter, more specifically I am looking for a hat to be made. The style I am looking for is a Homburg with a kettle curl brim. Looking for a quality fur, not wool. I know of a few hatters, but this style is a bit out of the norm for them, any suggestions?

                                            I will be of no use for your search for a hatter, but I'm curious what kind of fur you have in mind?
