I'm the odd one out. I don't spray any of my bags. I leave them alone. As for my boots, they're Canadian shearling and are made to be worn in the snow and as far as my gorgeous black leather equestrian boots are concerned, nothing. I have them professionally polished at the end of the season.
Hey! :worthy: Well, not all of us have a talent for painting. So one's gotta do what one's gotta do to maintain really good quality. Seriously though, I will never purchase any bag that can't handle the elements of the weather. It must perform! & BTW, I haven't worn my BV in a torrential downpour but I have worn it in the rain, and it survived like new! That is why I don't believe in treating any of my bags. Bags are meant to be worn not babied.Not ALL of us can have our boots professionally handled, missy - (she writes, flicking imaginary hair over her shoulder) (she also writes - 'you know I lurve you, right...')
