Use the instructions that come with the gloves, or use the info I wrote up for the IndyGear FAQ on gear conservation as to the keeping your gloves in good shape. I wouldn't suggest you use either product until you need to, as they are already treated before shipment, and don't need treatment until you have to clean them, and/or get them soaking wet. Just follow the directions, and you'll have them for years. Regards. Michaelson

: I just received my Well Lamont 1123s via UPS. First, off the gloves are not "overly yellowish" as a I expected (like the midwest). The coloring is close to a tanish grey. I made a last minute change to a medium since I measured my hands incorrectly, and the fit is perfect. One last observation, the ends of the gloves near the wrist flare just slightly -- just like in the movie.

: One problem though (which is very minor), invloves Wells Lamont's stapling of the cardboard label to the gloves. I was very careful to minimize the size of the holes.

: Lastly, I plan on using either Pecard Leather lotion or the leather dressing on the gloves - any suggestions?

: Now I'm off to find a muscle-bound nazi mechanic to beat the heck out of!
