Saddlery leather cream

Mink oil to get it back to "normal" and then Saddle cream to preserve it. Or neatsfoot oil if Mink products dont sit well with you.

 

Sorry about that isisalar, I hope you can sort it. It's in good nick so hopefully should be saveable.

Oscar.

 

No problem I'm very happy.

 

I'd look to YouTube there is a ton of stuff on leather work. I know old car seats can be revived very well. Hopefully you will be able to rub some life into it.

 

 

I've got some leather conditioner and some leather cleaner for the car. Would they be man enough for the job?
Oddly one of them recommends not using on household furniture?

 

Try ‘4way care’.

recommended by my better half who just happens to be leatherworker.

 

Thanks for all the help, in the event I found a good local tack shop, they'd not heard of Mink oil but did have the Neatsfoot oil, so I got a can of that. I'll use the conditioner from the car stuff after.
Thanks again.

 

I should imagine that all the above treatments will be excellent at marking your nice expensive fishing jackets / clothes if used heavy handedly.

You need to get out for a cast... ?

I would throw the leather one away and get a webbing one.
Far more comfortable and flexible.
£13.99 from Sportfish.

 

Neatsfoot will soften it up nicely but will feel oily for a while and leach oil onto clothing when in use. No bother if you’re wearing an old Barbour, but maybe not so good on a modern technical fabric.

Thanks. Gave it a first dose this evening, it was thirsty. Probably give it another go tomorrow

 

Used it for years...use to do all my Motorcycle leathers....keeps them superb.
Have a custom built leather jacket, now 33 years old, used to treat it once, sometimes twice a year, for many years...the leather is still like new, but don't ride with it due to the age of the stitching.
My mate put me on to it...only thing he uses for renovating very expensive Chesterfield sofas.
A lot of guys in the classic car world also swear by it. ( That's where I source it...usually cheaper ?).
If the strap is well dry....put it on heavy, paintbrush is good, and spread it about with a medium heat hair drier...and watch it disappear into the leather.
Leave in a warm place for a couple of days....polish off any excess, and repeat....you will be surprised how much it will take ?
After final coat polish, leave polish, polish, polish....result ...none sticky...none marking strap.... you only have to do this once....a light coat once a year, and it is likely it will see you out ?
I bought an old Barbour bag as part of a fly tying lot at an auction, the bag had obviously been put through a washing machine, and the leather work was like cardboard...so much I didn't dare bend it...four coats of the hide food and it is now fully usable.
Much better than Neatsfoot oil...and not the smell ! IMHO
