well made good thick leather, but must order one size larger or two if you like loose at all. nice fit, long arms, vents, etc. in the store here $300

there may be better stuff for waterproofing but this stuff is amazing for conditioning new leather and restoring vintage leather

I got it at a local military surplus and the 4oz container has restored a couple vintage jackets (70s-80s), vintage sholderbag (40s-50s super beat up), 2 pairs of boots and my icon jacket. still have about 2/3s of it too.


the website will tell you more than I can but its all natural stuff that wont degrade the leather. developed by wildfire fighters for use in the field or something. cant say enough good about it.
