Hi I have an old saddle that needs some TLC and bringing back to life the leather is hard and dry and curled in some places , can any one help with tips and what to use to soften and make the leather a but more flexible? I was told lexol leather cleaner and lexol leather conditioner and the fiebings leather balm would be ideal no oils as this would harm and darken the leather any help and tips on applications would be appreciated . Thanks
