The white stains are probably salt stains from sweat or from the elements. Take 3 parts vinegar to 1 part water, dampen an cloth and wipe the jacket down. Let it dry for an hour or so then apply Doc Bailey's.

Saddle soap will clean it up.
But you must use an oil (like mink oil) after.
Saddle soap takes away oils which need to be replaced.

ORIGINAL: JBBOOKS

Believe it or not, I use the H-D stuff, that looks like Vaseline. (Begin giggles here).

Once it's on, set the bags (continue to giggle) out in the sun and they will suck (break into guffaws) the oil right into the leather.
We used that stuff too. Usually I am the one who takes the time to do that kind of stuff. Hubby just doesn't have the patience. Well, anyways...having said that...he decides to"help" me one day, grabs the jar and starts applying it to his saddlebags. I was busy doing our other leathers.

Then he turns to me after awhile and says "This is going to take all day!" I'm putting it on thick as I can but it's going to take too much time to use this up." I reply..."What? What are you talki....." then the little lightbulb goes on above my head... and I start to chuckle. That's when I explain.... "This jar is for more than one application, you moron!" We both burst out laughing.
