I actually oil my case with mink oil about once a month, which aside from keeping the leather conditioned and waterproofed also really enhances the patina. I also actively try to not baby the case too much. You can see how pristine and uniform the iPhone 6 case looks. I was so frustrated with how boring it looked after two whole years that, for the iPhone 7, I swore I would overcome my OCD and let the case get beat up. Intense mental training deep in the Appalachian wilderness followed. But I feel like it came out a success!

EDIT: also here's some mink oil on amazon for six bucks and prime shipping so you can have it for launch day :D https://smile.amazon.com/Sof-Sole-Preserving-Waterproofing-3-5-Ounce/dp/B003EMABT6/ one tin has lasted me over two years so far, and it's only about half used up. And you can use it on all top-grain leather stuff, not just the phone case!

EDIT2: I don’t get why everyone is downvoting you, fwiw I got the sarcasm haha. You got my upvote :)

I just used some mink oil. It rains about every other day where I live and I've been wearing the boots daily and I've never had wet feet. The mink oil does make the boots a bit darker though so if you do end up using it be prepared for that!

Here's the link for the mink oil I used. Sorry I'm on mobile!

I first wipe mine down with a damp cloth to get any dust/salt/grime off my boots and let dry and then hit with a brush once more. Then I use Mink oil, specifically this brand. I take out the laces and apply with an old t shirt and really get it on every nook and cranny. Then I take a hair dryer and blast the boot and wipe off any excess (note that you shouldn't have that much excess that you need to wipe it down, but sometimes you'll get some around the eyelets). Mink Oil really brings out a nice shine and luster in the boot and doesn't darken it as bad as Sno-seal or Obenauf's would. I've had mine for almost 2 years now and they're still looking really good for a pair that have been through a decent beating.

Edit: Just for a lil boot porn here is a pair of my IR Amber Harness after a treatment of mink oil. Pic

I know nothing about boots. My boyfriend had a pair of Timberland boots that, after 3 years of daily wear (walking around a garage for shifts at work) they were beginning to let water in, so we got him a new pair of the same exact kind. We never oiled them or anything (didn't know that was a thing until I read your comment) so maybe they would have lasted longer if we had..

These are the boots.

If I buy this will that work for them?

u/Flamewire · 1 pointr/malefashionadvice

Roughly these, though I bought them a year and a half ago before I knew about proper care.

I'm currently thinking this leather care kit, a horsehair brush, and mink oil

Ok. Walk me thru this just to be certain.

Step 1: Use Some saddle soap such as this Fiebings Saddle Soap with a nice cloth and some water to scrub clean the shoes. Then let dry overnight.

Step 2: Heat Sperry's using a blow dryer to allow oil to absorb oil better. Use some mink oil such as this with another cloth and apply coat. Remove excess with dry cloth. Let dry overnight. Reapply next day. Remove excess.

Step 3: Profit.

I assume this would also work with a pair of clarks I own as well...?

Someone suggested mink oil to me in another post.
