          @mikebarhoot That looks somewhat similar to what happened to mine, but I still think I did it with super hot washing cycles.

                            Good day, all! This is my annual conditioning of the Hides of the Beast. I used Skidmore's Leather Cream which uses natural oils and beeswax.

                            Anyone else conditions their leather patches, and, if so, what do you use?

                              @nephellim Thanks for posting! Your patches look lovely. I've never treated any of mine, but your look nice.

                                    @goosehd, it was made by Tom Sanderson of Hawkmoth Leather. https://www.hawkmothleather.co.uk

                                    His works are incredible! Really love this Memento Mori belt he made. It has aged incredibly well and has developed a great patina thus far.
