What do you guys use/recommend for keeping your leather supple and long lasting? I really like Huberd's Shoe Grease (Since 1921) .... I use it on boots, shoes, belts, saddles and even my leather fedora. I've not found anything better. It needs-to-be turned upside down and allowed to sit a little while before you open it and stir it and apply it but it works really well, it's outstanding. What you think about, you do ... what you do, you become. In a nation where anything goes ... eventually, everything will. We're almost there.

What do you guys use/recommend for keeping your leather supple and long lasting? This question comes up almost as often as "what's the best gun oil"? In any event: Cleaner (not sexy, but works) https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N9CE98K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Preservative (a little goes a long ways) Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP Leather Preservative https://smile.amazon.com/Obenaufs-L...2231bdf&pd_rd_i=B003SKCARK&psc=1 Silcone spray - I use Herman Survivors (walmart I think) All in that order of application with appropriate drying times. In the sun usually works well. my .223 cents worth. Last edited by SupFoo; 11/14/22.
