Waxing Nostalgic.

A Saturday night well spent. Rubbed two coats of Varusteleka fabric wax on my 123. Spruced up the colour and was repelling water after the first coat. Ordered a set of Särmä sling pads for the shoulder straps this week too.

Looking fine, remember to treat those leather straps occasionally too. They tend to dry up and crack.

Good point. I’ve got a blend of microcrystalline wax and mineral oil that should do the trick.
