Dale, I guess a "neat" would be a cow or other livestock animal, and probably by the time their hooves are pressed to extract the oil, they don't have much use for them any longer.
Now I am curious though about the name, so if I find anything out I'll let you know. By the way, some people cut neatsfoot oil with a lot of kerosene for dipping saddles etc. so vigilance is called for. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dale Leavens Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2008 17:28 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] oiling a leather jacket What on earth is a neat? How does a neat feel about sacrificing it's feet for oil and how does it manage without it's feet? ----- Original Message ----- From: William Stephan To: blindhandyman@ <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2008 6:08 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] oiling a leather jacket I use something similar to this, (could even be th3e same brand), for dispatch cases and the like, and it really does a good job. You just squirt some in your hand, work it into the leather and whipe and buff with a clean rag. It actually leaves a little shine as well as cleans your leather. Neatsfoot oil is very good for keeping leather tack supple in very cold weather, but it does often cause color changes, so I'd be careful using it on a jacket. -----Original Message----- From: blindhandyman@ <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com [mailto:blindhandyman@ <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Trouble Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2008 07:48 To: blindhandyman@ <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] oiling a leather jacket Mink oil is good for boots, but the leather on a jacket is softer and needs a more milder wash. i got the lotion your talking about and it will do a good job. you won't be leave how much dirt will come out.
