I've heard that but I've always used it on new and heavier leather. Common sense tells me it should be cleaned first, sooo.....saddle soap????? I will have some Dr. Jackson's early in the week. Would Lexol work for maintenance? I'm in Northern Kentucky and it will be stored in a vault type area and the humidity ranges from 50 to 65% Thanks again, Art

Thanks a bunch guys. I've seen both Skidmore's and Dr. Jackson's but wasn't sure. What's the scoop on using neatsfoot....when to use and when not to and what for? Also what do you recommend for maintenance once it is restored?

New guy here with a question. A google search yields a variety of restoration techniques, and none the same, so I decided to consult the experts. Some say neatsfoot and others say it will destroy leather, which from my experience is not entirely correct. Please educate me on 1930s vintage tanning processes and proper care. What is the consensus on this one? The padded leather is not cracked but very stiff and dry. I would like to restore it to it's original suppleness (if possible) for an occasional trip to the range.
