These will outlast your career. I’m also an electrician. I got the commercial set since i do commercial. Mine are a year old but don’t look nearly as nice. I’m not one to take care of my leather work boots so i don’t have the first clue on taking care of the tool belt. What do you do to yours to keep them so nice looking?

I have a nice pair of red wing boots that I like to take care of, so I use the same care products on my oxxy bags once a season. All of mine are red wing brand but don’t have a monopoly by any means, there are plenty of good brands.

  • Wipe down with mild leather-safe detergent.
  • Apply leather conditioner. Allow to dry fully. The bags in my pic are on the drying step.
  • Apply waterproofing spray. Allow to dry overnight

And you’re done!

Yeah i also run red wing boots but for whatever reason my boots start to fall apart in 6 months to where i need new ones so i never bothered to take care of them. By detergent i assume you mean some type of cleaner? Good to know the steps to doing this. Appreciate it.
