Another vote here for Fiebings. Their Neatsfoot oil is good too. It was all I used to use on my horse tack and saddles.

 

Not trying to scare anyone. I don't use it because for many reasons but if you have favorable results with it continue to march.

If your oil contains silicone it could be bad for the natural leather.
Silicone waterproofer uses suspended silicone in a dispersant (water). This silicone layer that you just placed on top of the leather is non-reversible. You are sealing in and sealing out all oils, waters and other mediums. Wax can be thought of as similar. Wax can almost completely be removed, but never fully.

 

I found this stuff..."Leather Honey"... a while back.
Nice.

 

If a cleaning is needed I use saddle soap. If I feel it is getting dry I will use a fine application of mink oil. Jacket is 12 years old and is still in great condition. I figure a few hundred years of track record of cowboys using saddle soap and mink oil for their leather gear has to be a proven method considering how long some of that stuff has been around.

 

Been using Obenaufs for years. Great stuff. You can even buy it by the gallon!

 

I don't see it mentioned but HD seats are not leather, they are vinyl. I had a friend "conditioning" his seat not knowing.

 

Yeah, MOST of the HD seats are vinyl, but they also make some leather ones too. Check the P&A catalogue. And I believe some of the stock CVO seats are leather too.

 

Murphy's Oil Soap

 

was doing a search of the forums just to see if I could find anyone using it, saw some beeswax product at a tattoo/bike show here this weekend. my brother in law and I rode the poker rally and walked into the venue to turn in our hands and there were two women working a booth with a product called Leather Better made with beeswax and a citrus ingredient. the BIL's chaps are well worn, he last cleaned the bugs off them with his garage pressure washer.

the one woman spotted his worn looking gear and called him over, she applied this stuff onto his chaps and boots...they looked like new in just a few minutes. the other girl asked if I would like some applied to mine, my boots are part leather and part synthetic type material (Thor 50/50 boots) and she said it didn't matter, the stuff works on pretty much every surface. I've had these boots for 10 years, they looked brand new after she was done. the beeswax also waterproofs, she poured water on my boots along the seams and the water beaded up and ran off.

we each bought a tin, $25 a pop and she threw us a free one. after I got home I thought about trying it on my inner fairing where it had been severely sun faded from the previous owner who must have let it sit outside for a few years. I was pretty amazed to see how well it worked, applied and it instantly brought the color back and stayed that way after being wiped with a clean cloth. I guess I'll have to see how long it lasts for.

 

There is no single product for all leather. Different applications require different care. I use mink oil for my boots, belts, saddlebags, etc.. My finer leathers get a conditioner.
There is a member here who posted a link to a product he uses for horse saddles and ranch gear, I lost the link and never got around to ordering it. I hope he chimes back in.
Mink oil needs to applied correctly. I saturate the item and let it bake in the sun 4+ hours and then wipe it down. I get excellent results at a very low price. Been using it all my life.
