I would not use anything but a damp cloth if it gets dirty. With the canvas cover, the case should never need any kind of treatment. My 2 Repro cases are nearly 30 years old and look brand new. Any type of leather treatment will probably darken the leather.

Joe has a good point. Most of the old abused looking cases we see look that way because they were abused, oiled, or spent too much time outdoors. I have 100 year old trunk cases that look new with no treatment.

Unfortunately I don't have the canvas cover that originally came with the case. Suppose I should break down and part with some loot to buy a cover. Thanks for all the suggestions. I will refrain from oiling the leather.

Galazan's has covers and Jeff's Outfitters has them also.

[QUOTE=Bobby Cash;118796]My Repro came with a cheap, ratty mouse hair cover.
I'd like a canvas one too. Any ideas where they can be found? Bobby, don't toss the original - they are hard to come by these days. |

My cheap, ratty mouse hair cover actually repels dust, dirt and grime
simply by virtue of it's cheap, ratty mouse hairiness. Nothing wants to get close to it. No worries Dean. |
