Thanks VabaX. 

Thats what i am after...having the product patina nicely by the customer....and not looking grubby.

Are there any other options....products which can be used? Virgin Olive Oil...Dubbin ???

I am only new at this (hobby) and dont really want to outlay for all of the products etc for only a few items at this stage.

Cheers

Neatsfoot oil is very cheap.
There are a few other types of oils, but they're all just as obscure as Neatsfoot is, so you'd still have to buy them specially for this purpose. 
Other oils like olive etc will go rancid, and wont 'cure' or 'settle' into the material properly. same reason as why you dont use those vegetable oils for oiling an axe handle or a tabletop, etc. 
Also, dont use mineral oils either, as that will start to degrade the leather and the stitching.

Just get small bottle of neatsfoot or mink oil (should be easily less than $10). you'll find it at any leather supplies retailer. 

And as I said, a proper finish like resolene ontop to actually seal the leather, to lock in the oils and to block out any other contaminants that will make it go grubby.
