Hi all, have invested in a new Albion - just wondering what is the best way to keep it in tip top condition? Should I cover in saddle cover after riding, how often should it be cleaned & what would be best product?
How best to take care of new saddle?

Yes, do keep it covered, and try to avoid putting your girth directly on the saddle, put it over the cover or elsewhere. Store it on a proper saddle rack or something suitable, pad out the rack if it looks like it might leave dents in the panels of the saddle. Clean regularly (warm water, old fashioned dishcloth and elbow grease 
) and condition when needed with a good conditioner. I like Effax Lederbalsam, Stubben Hamanol, Oakwood Conditioner and Leather Therapy Conditioner, you should be able to find one of those . There are other good ones, I'm sure, but these are ones I know have good ingredients (and no bad ones!) and I have tried personally.
