would not cause so much body sweat ?
Waterproofing leather??
hock:
I too would be interested in this method! As for sweating, leather does not breathe, it gets very hot under the sun, almost unbearable to hold if left out.
With years of experinece in leathergoods through saddles, chest straps, leg boots, leather girths & saddles, i have never heard of waterproofing leather....and for no sweating....let me give you my tall riding boots after a day's riding....and a nose peg!
I agree with Theodosius, without special care, leather if gets wet is soon rotted, or dires out and cracks not making it very presentable...even todays leather gear on our horses, when it gets wet, mixed with sweat and teh sun...is soon useless if not oiled & cleaned daily! This keeps the leather soft...not hard!
