I just dug out a leather holster that seems a bit dried out looking. What is your choice for preserving leather when you don't want to make it softer?

I just grab whatever is first in the closet, either Bick 4 or Lexol. Milt Sparks recommends Renaissance Wax for their holsters. Even sell it on their website - https://www.miltsparks.com/store/Renaissance-Wax-p105705063

Neatsfoot oil is the best I have used. A little goes a long way. Get it softened up and put your pistol in a sock and put in holster. Leave overnight to expand. Good luck

Only problem with Neatsfoot is that it's more of a preserver and really darkens leather, whereas Lexol is more of a conditioner and a little more forgiving and doesn't darken leather as much

Duragloss 221 and 222 (same stuff, different volumes) from NAPA or Amazon is what the King Ranch sells in their King Ranch tack shop for their leathers, but you don’t get the fancy King Ranch sticker on the bottle or pay the price thst they charge.
I bought it for my truck seats, but use it on a lot of my leather that I’m not trying to waterproof, just condition. Smells great too.
