That's a good idea - thanks.

They have a matt finish, and I think keepiong the leather flexible helps to protect them. E

I was just wondering, what brand of dubbin are you using there?

(It's just the first time I have seen it in a squeezy tube, the dubbin I've always used has come in a tin)

Cheers - Will

Made by KIWI, should be available everywhere - maybe a camping shop?

20 years! they look as if tey have been worn once. What boots are these? Do you know if Brashers boots are any good i'm about to invest in a pair, great video anyway thanks.

[erixuk]

Don't know the brand.

[kuttinheadz]

putting them by the fireplace really helps them soak in too!

@erixuk would these go shiny or do they just stay matte? Would they soften the leather too much?

Thanks very much for this video, very informative.

Can I apply dubbin to a leather jacket?

[flashtin166]

Could anyone tell me if dubbin will take to a pair of boots that have previously been polished. I have a new pair of boots which I have polished twice and then applied dubbin to, however im not sure how much of the dubbin has been absorbed. I am not inerested in polishing them to shine I only want to maintain them well.

Good video. Thank you. I use Carr & Day & Martin Neutral Dales Dubbin. It is excellent stuff.

@MrHaveGun Cheers i will look into those.

@teamcalzaghe - Get a pair of R M Williams elastic sided boots in yearling calf leather, chestnut colour. Protect with dubbin but use this mix on the leather undersole; 1 part boiled linseed oil, 1/2 a part bees' wax and 1/2 a part turpentine.(Boil the linseed oil until solid and waxy like dubbin - if it boils over it will catch alight so do outside on a fire and take off the fire if it looks to boil over).
