no...lexol is not the same brand as red wing...

i bought the lexol in the red wing store only...

condtitioner and mink oil are different too

conditioner is the one that preserve the leather

mink oil waterproof the leather only

not bad edmond, looking promising.

[edmond]

thanks man used it today got a couple of scratches on them already.. jesus..

I think it needs more tanning, personally.

[edmond]

ayte ill tan them more ,,,, like a shade darker? or 2?

[ang_kangkong]

Give it a couple of days. It gets darker the first couple of days anyway. I remember leaving mine out at the office where the sun could get at it on a Friday (this is when I first bought it, my version of tanning), it got kinda dark that weekend, but when Monday/Tuesday rolled around, it looked even darker.

Not a Red Moon, by the way. Check this thread, I posted pics, way back when.

But nice pick up. Yay Rustan's!

tanner belt, 6 months or so. don't remember really

I like them darker, yeah. And if you're worried about indigo stains, they'll be less apparent the darker the leather is. Keep tanning.

i will man thanks ill keep tanning them..

[Bobbejaan]

i have my rm just the same. No tanning on the inside. I like the contrast.

But i guess you can tan it some more to get the best result.

[edmond]

yeah have to keep it in the sun but its been raining on and off these past 2 days...

[the_state]

i have a pre-tanned RRC Red Moon wallet that would look a lot better in a darker shade. will sun-tanning do anything at this point, or does that only work on the SD/"raw" leather?

[jubei]

I'd imagine that it would do a little bit, but the contrast is more apparent with raw stuff. I think it really depends on how dark your belt is though (pics might be helpful?)

You might want to try oiling it instead. That usually darkens leather up quite a bit.

[fattybfat]

brother bought this key holder...and i will see how it age...

i remember redmoon has a similar one too....

i might as well make myself one...

[fattybfat]

does anyone know where can i get a leather braid without the tassal?

i check the LGC site but there is no pic or price on it

[ang_kangkong]

I think those tassles actually cost extra.

[fattybfat]

kang kong

it is attached to the braid...not anything that can add to it...

at least for my RM and edmond's RM...it has the tassal attach...which i dont like it...hanging around...

so ..anyone know...braid without tassal??

[Dick Danger]

does it have to be a braid?

[fattybfat]

dick

anything that i can hook to my RM wallet

but not a silver chain...leather only..

[edmond]

got these yesterday..

anyways got some Q.

1. i fi want my leather ( wallet , boots to be water proof) its been raining pthese past few days how do i apply the mink oil ? after i apply the leather conditioner?

2. what if i dont use the mink oil will the conditioner waterproof the boots or wallet?

thanks guys.. sorry kindda new on these leather things..

[edmond]

pictures of the rm after i cleaned with lexol cleaner and applied conditioner..

[lestat]

either im eatting a little too much or sugarcane belts run a bit smaller... i hope its the latter...

[Cameland]

Your not meant to use any of those things on your RM. It's only meant to be mink oil after a long sun tan and then thats it. The oil from your hands will keep it from drying out.
