I received a pot with my new leather bags. Unfortunately it has the boring name of 'Leather Dressing'. Doesn't make it sound as interesting.......

I use Doc Bailey's Leather Black on my leather seat and boots too. It is both a dye and a preservative.

I use the leather and vinyl care stuff you can get at any auto parts store. Whatever is cheapest. Works for me.
