My THIRD Leather RKilt Arrives Soon...

[Clockwork]

I haven't treated any of my leather kilts either. I have found that the oils from ones skin seem to keep the kilt supple. (As well as all the hands from the gals who immediatly grasp the kilt for a feel as they exclaim "Is That Leather!!!! "Oooh so soft!")
The British Tan is an oil finish tan. When water hits it, it does darken but the spots usually rub out. This is a kilt that has to be worn and a patina gets developed for a rich antique look. In other words they just get better with age.

That is an interesting point I hadn't thought of; as being worn against the skin, it'll naturally pick up the oil from there. But what you're saying makes sense, and experience speaks loudest.

In the mean time, I'll have to rely on Ron's photos for holding off my Jonesing until I can get my own (or maybe making it worse)!

Cheers,
