Leather oil/conditioner

[Fuzznugget]

What is a really good leather oil/conditioner that is NOT neatsfoot? I've used Obenauf's for years, but don't want to be paying the shipping + customs charges if there is something that is as good here in the UK. Thanks!

In the past I have used vegetable oil. It worked really well on an old breast plate I found in the back of the cupboard which hadn't been used for years. I had to do it several times over but it did work. I have also used it on odd parts of bridles that i have found and left the parts submerged in the oil in food bags for about 20-30 mins and it has worked well. Not sure if others will agree with this but it never hurt the tack I used it on!

Jeffries Leather cream or Stubben Hamanol, both are great.

Stubben Hammanol is fantastic

Kochaline (the red sticky stuff) is good

Thanks for all the suggestions! Will experiment with them and see how they do. Tried the vegetable oil on a really crap martingale and surprisingly it seems to have brought it back to life!

Another vote for Stubben Hamanol

P.S. I wouldn't be soaking ANY of my tack, crap or not, in any kind of oil.

Either Stubben Hamanol or Effax (the brown one)

I use Amerigo tack oil every now and then or on new tack which seems to do the trick!

For every day conditioning i use either naf leather food or naf leather balm, both of which are lovely!

Kochaline (the red sticky stuff) is good

Another vote from me,after it has dried in I use the Belvoir glycerine bar to get the lovely shine .
