The blog entry about weatherproofing suede got me thinking about pony hair. I recently purchased my first pair of shoes that are pony hair, pointy leopard pumps. Beings that I'm in Seattle, I certainly am interested in what are the do's and don't's of this material, and if there's anything I can do to improve their chances of survival here. Any thoughts on weatherproofing pony hair shoes?
