Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.

'A high-angle outdoor shot on a balcony showing over ten pairs of various leather boots lined up on the floor. A person's hand is visible in the foreground using a sponge to clean a brown boot. In the background, a tub of Harry's Horse leather soap and a bottle of Sectolin leather oil sit on a brown storage bin.'

Some much needed #maintenance on out #leather #shoes and #boots today. Some #SaddleSoap and #LeatherOil and they're as good as new. All, or almost all, are proper #GoodYearWelt boots, too.

Oiling up good boots is always super satisfying, one of the favorite parts of my job

@CobblerScholar @bammerlaan@pixey.org Absolutely. And it makes such a world of difference, too.
