Suede waterproofing

[DC]

Lots of bears as I remember in the area when I visited as a kid.  Years ago you would see people HAND FEEDING the bears on the side of the road.   

So, no, I don't think I want to volunteer to be a bear snack.

. . . and that reminds me not to leave any snacks in my trunk on the Drifter, lest someone will be making a vid of bears on motorcycles.

DC... It's one thing to have a pack of hungry canine on your trail... Correct me if I'm wrong... There are bears in Maggie Valley... That might be a whole new issue if they get a whiff of bacon grease ala biker! lqtm

Not people from the middle east..

Possibly used as a repellent?   Or maybe what Black Jack Pershing did...

So I could be like the Pied Piper then.  I could get people to follow me anywhere, just on the smell of the bacon grease.

Please do the bacon grease. Then on  hot day as we follow you along the routes during Drift in we can ride thinking of breakfast, or any other meal with bacon in it....

It's Barry to the rescue.  He's up to the job on the soundtrack.

On the bacon grease, the other downside is that I would become a rolling fire hazard subject to spontaneous combustion.

chika, chika, bomp, bau... chika, chika, bomp, bau. lol

Either that DC... Or a Barry White soundtrack... lol

Not sure about the bacon grease... You definitely don't want to be chased on the bike by a pack of hungry canine... Trust me on that one!

I got a suede jacket (found it in an RV store on the discontinued/discount rack) and now I need to waterproof it.  Can you recommend a particular waterproofing spray for suede?

Got to thinking about it some more.  Try bacon grease.  It takes 2-3 coats, but it should work really well.  Makes the dog like you too...

DC... That looks like a '70s Porn Stache! lol

Now all we need is that trademark music in the background.

Do you spend much time at the blue oyster club?

I can't really talk, I bought some blue suede shoes last week..there's me thinking Elvis, and my grandson saying gay..

I decided to pass on the glue-on mustache, like the pic above, and try to make do.

Ya shoulda' called me... lol

DC... Scully?... That's a nice score, I have one, They're beautiful, Check out Scotchguard or Kiwi for waterproofing.

Thanks.  I guess you can't go wrong with Scotchguard or Kiwi.

Yes, it's a Scully.  I LOVE their stuff.  They make great products.  I also got a vest to go with it.  That was in cloth though.  I also picked up a western shirt with pearl snaps to go with all that at. . . . . .  wait for it. . . . . Tractor Supply.  They were having a closeout/mark down sale on some shirts, really cheap.

I've used the spray silicon leather waterproof stuff. Its not the best though. I'll bet pcarrol has some good suggestions though.

So I decided I wanted to go with a southwest/Indian vibe and was on the hunt for a jacket.  I got a suede jacket (found it in an RV store on the discontinued/discount rack) and now I need to waterproof it.  Can you recommend a particular waterproofing spray for suede?
