Month 9

@matt_rost appreciate that brother, it’s all downhill from here that pale rider is lookin’ ace!

[matt_rost]

@olblue Thank you. It's really about time for leather care, but I'm going to try to get through the next 3 months without conditioning. I still have no idea what to use without losing the original color.

[olblue]

@matt_rost I tend to go with Venetian leather creams for my boots that I don’t want to darken. I’m not 100 % sure how to treat a shirt of this caliber but if I had it and was curious I’d treat a small portion of the inside of the garment as a test. Let it sit and see what it does. I’m curious if there’s a thread on this one

[olblue]

@matt_rost and on a side note I always look for the words “neutral” on leather care products, I use this one on all my horween leathers

@matt_rost congratulations my friend, it is more and more wonderful great work

[matt_rost]

@Luijim78 Thank you for your continued positive participation in the development process. Two and a half months left, and during this time it will probably see a few rays of sunshine a few times and perhaps change its color a little naturally...

[matt_rost]

@olblue Thanks for the tips. Reading your lines, I now know how I can proceed sensibly and that's why I remembered that I still have a supply of Red Wing Leather Cream floating around here. This product served me well last year on Pecos made of leather with a very similar surface texture and color, so I'll try it out on a hidden spot first. Venetian Shoe Cream is certainly a good option too, I think. I'll have to check availability in Germany, maybe a bit cheaper in the long term given my general consumption of leather care products.
As far as I've noticed, most owners of this shirt seem to just use Mustang Paste, or nothing at all. I will definitely take a different approach in a few months and then document the results here.
