The formula for Montana Pitch-Blend was born out of a combination of necessity, accident, and old-fashioned ingenuity on a cold, snowy day in Montana's
Bob Marshall Wilderness.
An outfitter and his hunting party were suffering from cold, wet feet because the various waterproofing leather treatments they were using on their boots simply did not work.

One evening, as the guide put logs on the fire, he picked up one that was laden with pitch. Recalling how Native Americans have long used pitch to waterproof everything from leather footwear to bark canoes, he added a lump of pitch to his can of mink oil and beeswax boot dressing and heated them together over the camp stove until the mixture was blended. He applied it to everyone's boots and, for the rest of the hunt, he and his clients enjoyed warm, dry feet.

When word of this new boot dressing got out, the outfitter began receiving requests for his special blend from hunters, loggers, horse owners and other serious outdoor enthusiasts. All who used it were impressed by how incredibly effective it was at keeping their feet dry and at protecting and preserving their boots and other leather goods.

Since that time, bowhunters, firearm hunters, equestrians, ranch and farm workers, linemen, construction workers, motorcycle enthusiasts, loggers, and others who work and play in the outdoors have come to rely upon Montana Pitch-Blend for premium leather conditioning and long-lasting protection against the elements for all their leather gear.
