During the winter I bought a new set of chaps and a leather vest. Had this great idea of using mink oil on my chaps and vest. Bought a can of Kiwi mink oil paste and treated chaps and vest put the away for a month or two. Then the weather broke good enough for a ride, and a chance to try out the new chaps.To make a long story short, the engine heated up and I m noe have to clean the tanl and heat shields off becuase the mink oil has greased them and that 's a pain to clean. The stuff works great on boots and mande the chaps verfy soft and looked good but boy what a job the clean my gezzer glide

Dr.Marten, boot manufacturer has a paste in a little tub that conditions and softens leather. I’ve used on a lot of leather things, belts, jackets, and shoes of course and I think it’s great stuff.

KIT CUSTOM

I used Doc Baileys polish on my 45 year old Langlitz leather jacket which was turning brown in spots. It worked for me. Previously I used neatsfoot oil which kept it soft but didnt help the color. Havent got caught in the rain since I used it. Lets hope the color doesnt run.

I have been using the leather dressing from Harley and maybe because bike is still kinda new, but, I actually like the stuff as it is easy to work with and makes the seat soft and looks good.

I use Lexol Leather Conditioner from my local feed store. It is great on leather.

I find for coats and chaps or leather pants good old mink oil works best, waterproofs and makes leather more supple.

Hey I Was Wondering What To Use On My Boots If Anything. My Left Boot Is Pretty Scratched/cut Up From The Shifter Peg. Its Looking Pretty Bad. Any Suggestions.

Now we are into some thing I have had success at. The flexibility of leather comes from the oil in the leather. The curing process of raw hide to leather takes the oil out of the skin. It has to be returned with a synthetic oil like Neets Foot Oil. The first word is spelled more than one way by whom ever bottles it. It is a clear amber liguied light oil that is used to coat finished leathers. If your jacket, chaps, etc. is getting the dry feeling, still feeling then coat it with this oil. It will be absorbed into the leather and return the flexibility of the leather like new. A pint bottle is around five bucks and can coat a lot of leather. Then you need a top coat and here is where I don't bother as my leather isn't ever used as a rain suit. Up north they may get rained on often. Then I would simply use Harley's products. Fossil
