I ordered this bag from DGW and want to treat the suede to help with the wet here in the PNW. Looking for some recommendations to help make the leather more water resistant or proof. Greatly appreciate feedback and thoughts.
No, I don't do all the period correctness.(pretty sure that bag ain't period correct! ) Thank you for the suggestion, I'll look into it.Don't know if you're looking for 100% period correct or a modern solution, but the KIWI shoe care people put out some very nice suede protection products.
Spray it on and done.
I'm ok if it darkens it up a bit. In fact, a rub in treatment would be preferred.Any kind of waterproofing you put on the bag will change to look of it drastically. However, it will give it a look of age that it doesn't have.
Yeah, that might be a little longer than I'm looking for. Might not be able to shoot in 10yrs!On the other hand, you can use it as a napkin to wipe your greasy hands and face on and it will look just fine in about 10 or so years...
Sno-Seal like @Flint62Smoothie said or neatsfoot oil which is what I use.
That can take a lot longer than imagined …Let the weather do its thing and your bag will be period correct in short order.
