Has anyone ever tried Doc Bailey's Leather Black? I just ordered some off of fox creek's website. It sure sounds like a good product.

Have not tried that product. Have always used a good quality Neatsfoot Oil on all leathers at least once a year (probably not frequently enough). My leathers get used a lot and in some pretty harsh weather (rain, hot sun, etc) and they stay in good shape.

Fox Creek has a good reputation and I'm sure would offer good quality products.

Yes-Doc Bailey's is GREAT stuff. Did mine and my wifes chaps [both are 10 years old and very worn] That stuff made the leather look brand new and it softened them up considerably. Next we did our boots, also well worn and got gret results.
I would recomend this stuff to anyone. The only problem is now we look like RUB's and their new leathers....BRADD

I use Doc Bailey's for my saddlebags and it does a great job. Love the stuff. Never used it on my Fox Creek leathers though. I use the Montana Pitch Blend Leather Care product they sell on their website on my leather jackets and vest. Stuff works great.

Doc Bailey's is great stuff. Really shines up a set of scuffed up boots !!

Yes, I've used it for years. Boots, Chaps, Jackets, Vests, and my Leather Corbin Seats...Good stuff. I always keep a pair of surgical gloves in the plastic bag with it so that you can keep it off your hands when you're applying it and polishing. Good tip. If not, no matter how careful you are with the sponge applicator, it will get on your hands and fingers... Enjoy.
