old worn leather, how to

[mole]

i dont look after my saddle very well and want to make it look sparkling for thursday but it has lost colour in some places and wondered how best it is to bring the colour back and make my saddle look fabulous once again (might want to PX it so it needs to be looking tiptop!)

any snazzy ideas guys?

What colour was it to start with?

Neatsfoot oil will darken leather, so if your saddle is dark brown or black then it is worth trying, but it will turn tan leather a funny colour.

Otherwise Ko Cho Line is very good for conditioning leather and won't stain it.

it is a brown saddle but not a tan colour. the knee pads are a slightly lighter colour and they look the most worn.

Ko cho line is red isnt it?

Ko cho line is red, but it soaks in without staining a colour.

I have some Albion leather condition, yellow pot, black lid. It leaves leather feeling soft, looking gorgeous and smells fab too.
