Heal Old Leather

[BulletProof]

I have a vintage leather strap (70's?) that has become dry and if I bend it too much it starts to crack.

Is there a way to get it back to pliable?

I tried neatsfoot, and even wrapped a neatsfoot soaked rag around it over night - no help.

Then I thought of you guys!

Any ideas?

(Thanks in advance!)

Try fat leather fat, dont know what brand you use normally (or make yourself, maybe) I am used to brand called Gold Quality leather fat.

Stretch your hands out over the leather, on second thought, stretch out your left hand and grab a jar of Pecard's, Montana Pitchblend, or Dr. Jackson's, and rub on a coat, if it drys-up in an hour or two, put on another coat, then let it sink in overnight in a dry place. Usually this will bring most things back from the dead.
