@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

@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...

@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.

@Mister_Brue Wow, that’s amazing man.

@Mister_Brue considering the fact that you use it at work - did you get more mileage out of this than out of dedicated work clothing?

I’d say at least as much, though ordinarily I would wear different garments depending on weather/time of year/working conditions, and always in some sort of rotation. This jacket has been through it all, and started showing signs of wear (through) on the arms sometime in month five. If not for curiosity’s sake, and general Wabash experimentation, I probably would have patch repaired them at that point.

There is so much wear all over the arms now and other places, I’m starting to question my life choices.

@endo Agreed.
