Does the shoe polish not rub off on to your uniform shirts and pants?

Maybe but ours were such a dark shade of navy it wasn't noticeable. I only did it on outward facing parts of cuff cases that would get torn up from the car seat. A little bit goes a long way.

I haven't tried this, but black leather
dye might reduce the ruboff problem.

I've used sole dressing on items such as this in the past to clean up some worn areas or flaws.

You need to PM everyone your name and department. Since we have prayed you all the way through this Academy thing you can't write us tickets.

Thanks everyone so much. It's been a long journey and now I'm officially a Texas peace officer. I ordered my firearm today and next week when it come in ill post pics. My first day is Friday and I can't wait. Thanks again guys for all the advice and wisdom.
I will not write a fellow CHL a ticket so none of y'all have anything to worry about.

Seems like just the other day you were facing lots of unknowns and much uncertainty. Isn't it amazing how and how quickly it worked out?
