@Danne and @Spyros - Thank you for that.  I get Fiebings and Eco-Flo from Tandy and don't recall ever coming across other brands.  I'll see if I can source one of the other brands here in Canada.

But for veg tan leather the Fiebings is alright?

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm quite certain that Eco-Flo is produced by Fenice.

A lot of the brands I recommended are quite low viscosity and require multiple coats for good results. But if you want less coats you can for example use Uniters EP-Full primer and Uniters EP2000 edge paint as a second coat, and get a good result with two coats. I have also seen similar results with Giardini products (I haven't tried Giardini though)

And I can't say how the durability compares to more coats and heat and sanding in between.

Eco-Flo is Tandy's house brand.

Yes, Fiebing's is alright for veg-tan. I even use it in my English bridle belts and it's fine as long as you burnish it well and finish it up with Tokonole.
