Dubbin is a wax product used to soften, condition, and waterproof leather and other materials. It consists of natural wax, oil, and tallow.
It is different from shoe polish, which is used to impart shine and color to the leather.
Dubbin has been used since medieval times to waterproof and soften leather boots.
The name dubbin is a contraction of the gerund dubbing, describing the action of applying the wax to leather.
