    Actually, the "Canadian boot" I wear is the same style moc in pic # 1,That I added my own elk hide to. ( saved a few $$$$ - Being Scots & all that )


    BTW, both mocs are over 5 years old, & even though I weatr them in some rough country & wet weather, as well as on the street, they are like new. ( hint user "WHITES Boot Preservative ) NO silicone)

    That's a nice track record. I was wondering how they held up in the long run. And being I'm a wee bit north of you Puffer, I know all to well what kind of terrain & weather your talking about!

    Thanks.

    I have a couple of cans of Huberd's Show Grease that has pine tar and beeswax as ingredients to preservative. I use this stuff on a pair of my 2-piece period boots. I also have some saddle soap, but I don't know if I should use this stuff to clean the leather. What do you do before that to clean your mocs, Puffer?

    There was another one out there:
    "Kaibab Moccasins" but I cannot find them, so I do not know if they are still in business. My Soldado compadres down in California used them alot.
