My A6-A boots are in dire need of a restoration. They are XXXL's!!!!

What on them needs to be restored?

Mine are a size large, the leather has flaked on them, I'm planning on cleaning them and then using the method used by Josh Zartmann to restore the flaked leather described in a thread in the how-to sticky section on a-6 flight boots.

Also just picked up a pair of size medium silk gloves that were the liners for the electrically heated gloves in the pretty decent shape.
