    Remember guy's/gal's dubbin was around when cotton or other natural fibers were common, not the modern synthetic ones!

    I use effax. Leder Balsam. It's a German product sold by saddlers for saddles, bridles etc. been used for years by a lot of farmers etc. but relatively unknown to hunters. Comes in a 500ml tub or small tube about tooth paste size. Brush it on with a small brush and it soaks in like dubbin. Also good on leather slings, pack straps etc.
