    I recently read that you shouldn’t oil the collar face, but a reason was not given. This seems to to be first I’ve heard that, at least I don’t remember ever reading that or someone telling me that before. Is this a common view point, and what is the reason?

    Thanks

    I oil all the leather. Perhaps the warning is to not use a freshly oiled collar face directly on an animal? Just guessing.

    I’ve always oiled my collars when new, then re-oiled when I’ve cleaned and oiled the rest of the harness. I wipe collar clean with a damp rag after taking off of horse. I just never heard to not oil the collar face.

    Sometimes people reccomend not overly iling them because the oil can cause the stitching to wear out faster. I oil mine religiously three times a year. Once in the Spring when I start working them again. A light oiling mid summer. And one more right about the time I put it up for the winter.
