Freebie from Pecards

I just got my package of Pecards Creme/Jell this weekend (for when the Wested arrives) and when I opened the box, I noticed they gave me a free sample bottle of boot polish. I thought that was a very nice touch. They've got a repeat customer, for sure.

Has anybody else had this experience with the fine folks at Pecards?

yep, got the boot oil with the other stuff. It was a pretty nice touch. I always appreciate free stuff.

I remember there was a Pecards goody-bag for all the attendees of the Queen Mary summit last year - credit here to both Pecards and Michaelson (aka Mr Pecards) for arranging this for us. Needless to say I now have a big tub of Pecard on my shelf (no really I do use Pecards - its for waxing my replica Michaelson stunt double moustache

).

And I seem to remember that it doubles as a floatation device too.
There is only one original though... The ultimate gear one could never duplicate.

With my Wested coming up sooner or later I've been thinking about what other Europeans use. If they order Pecards or if they go by a different brand? Perhaps the one recommended by Peter? I'm not sure what to look for since I didn't get a reply from Pecards.
Maybe I'll just do a search to see what I can dig up.

Regards,
Swindiana

Just be sure you use STANDARD dressing, and not the WATER SOLUABLE lotion when you're doing that!

Thanks for putting up with us too!

I do have sort of a goatee that I'll probably apply that on. You never know when you need good survival facial hair when in trouble or out in the wilderness. Now I only have to figure out a use for it. This post of mine just got silly. Move along folks.

Hey Swindy, I'll try and get this runaway train back on track.

I too, recieved a small oil can of the Pecards boot oil with my leather cream purchase last year. I still have yet to use it, because I really have no clue. How does this stuff waterproof your boots? I just assumed you just put it around the are where the leather meets the soles.
But you know what happens when you assume?
You know

I just received a shoe oil sample with my order of standard dressing - I'm obviously using the dressing on all my regular leather gear, but is the oil a better product for my Carolina Alden clones, or should I stick to the dressing?

As a suggestion, take a look at the 'nailed' post at the top of this section. Leather_Loco has posted an excellent point by point use for the different products (and he should know, he's a VP AT Pecards), but if you need further info, click on his email icon and send him the question directly. If anyone can tell you, he can. His name is Eric. Regards. Michaelson
