Which brand of leather dressing do you folks prefer?
Need to care for a new holster and was wondering which one was best?

What's wrong with neatfoot oil compound?If you use Neatsfoot oil just be sure it is pure neatsfoot and not neatfoot oil compound.
I use some pure neatsfoot, lexol conditioner is good, I also like Skidmores leather cream.
Pecard Leather Dressing is the last word in leather conditioning. Even museums use Pecard products to preserve antique leather. PECARD CHEMICAL CO., INC., 1836 Industrial Drive, Green Bay, WI 54302.Which brand of leather dressing do you folks prefer?

It will cause the stitching to rot for one thing, not sure it really does the leather any good either.What's wrong with neatfoot oil compound?
Neatsfoot compound contains a high percentage of straight 30W Motor oil...What's wrong with neatfoot oil compound?
Only if it's overdone.That, plus it softens leather over time.
One more time for those perpetuating this myth and apparently not reading the thread, neatsfoot is only a problem if overdone. That is, you don't soak you holster or gun belt in oil like you did as a kid with your baseball glove.Pure neatsfoot oil, as others have indicated, will soften the leather.
Pure neatsfoot will only soften quality leather unless you REALLY over do it. I very heavily oil new rigs I make with pure neatsfoot oil. John Bianci actually dips his and even shows how he does it in his video.Yeah, Skidmores is great. Pure neatsfoot oil, as others have indicated, will soften the leather. Neatsfoot oil compound does have petroleum oil (not sure it's 10W30), but it will darken AND soften the leather. Not good for most applications although I have used it on horse tack where color is not important and protecting from horse sweat is.
