I made the mistake of not waterproofing my docs before I wore them out in the snow and I got white salt marks on them:-( I've managed to finally polish them out so they are hardly noticable but all my boots have now been throughly waterproofed x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-condition-your-leather#post-277974 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 18:53:51 +0000 chewyspaghetti 277974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Kate- the more often you use an item the more you should condition it. I like to do it at least 3 times a year. I figure that most of my leather good are seasonal, so I do it when I take them out for the season, in the middle of the season, and before putting them away for the season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-condition-your-leather#post-277958 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 18:28:17 +0000 Kate 277958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris - How often do you recommend? And should it be more often for the items that are getting more use in the current season? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-condition-your-leather#post-277909 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 16:25:00 +0000 morethanbeige 277909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Khris.

I needed to see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-condition-your-leather#post-277853 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 14:53:15 +0000 chewyspaghetti 277853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a friendly reminder to condition your leather and vegan leather regularly. I just spent the weekend hitting everything in our closets (including all of my belts and bags) with Kiwi Leather Lotion. I'm going to try and remember to do this a few times a year, because it makes a big difference. Especially with SYC- I need to make the most of what I have. </p>
