> 24 hourThis does a great job of conditioning leather. We had an old jacket that was dried out and this aided us in restoring it. Its not new, of course, but it looks so much better and has new life in it. We couldnt get it looking good with the other conditioner we tried, but this got it looking pretty nice again. Good luck in your search.

> 24 hourI have to say that I was a bit skeptical. I have used leather conditioner which I like and which costs a good deal less, but the fact is that this works just as well ande it is made from plant materials and beeswax, not animal products. I also like that it is produced by a small family company, and it sounds like they stand behind their products. I tried the leather conditioner on a favorite purse. It has seen some use, but was not damaged. The leather conditioner did soften the leather and will also protect it a bit. Note: It did darken the leather so it is something to consider if you will be applying it to lighter colored leather. The beeswax waterproofing might have protected it better but since it was soft leather I used the conditioner on it and the beeswax waterproofing. I used the beeswax waterproofing on my favorite pair of Danskos, because it is VERY wet where I live and I want them to last. The beeswax waterproofing did not darken the leather but it did enhance the contrast in the pattern (which you can see in the second picture). My shoes now smell as good as an old pair of shoes can smell, which does worry me a bit. I found one in my dogs den last week and now that they smell like beeswax I am going to have to hide them before I go to bed. I did point to the expense early in this review so it is only fair for me to mention that after doing a large purse, a pair of shoes and a camera case it looks like it has scarcely been touched. It does not take a lot and you can likely take care of all of the leather you own for years with this little set, which makes it a very reasonable purchase.

> 24 hourCleaned up my old saddle like a charm! Looks brand new again. Used the waterproofing on it as well and water just beads off the leather like water off a ducks back! Fast shipping, quality product, highly recommend! Also used on linesman utility/tool belt. Turned out great!

> 24 hourI got this to spruce up an old leather jacket that my dad left to me. It was dull and very wrinkled from a lot of wear. These products were easy to use and brought the jacket back to life! It made scratches less noticeable and conditioned it well. I used it on black and it did not leave any marks on it with it being a lighter color. It came in a nice gift packaging with a pamphlet that has instructions. I am happy with it, I am going to do some of my leather boat shoes next!

> 24 hourThis stuff is FANTASTIC! I highly recommend using this product on your leather goods! I bought a sand colored headstall on EBay, when it arrived I noticed that is was extremely dry. I used Skidmore’s leather cream on it, and it not only brought the leather back to life and made very pliable it also revived its natural color of a nice chestnut. I have used this product on all my tack and saddles and can’t be more happy with the results! It’s hard to find a leather product that actually lives up to its claims, this product goes above and beyond! Will buy the 1ld tub from now on!!!

> 24 hourI have used this product for about 2 months now on many different leather goods. Boots, wallets, key chains, dog collars, belts, knife sheaths and other miscellaneous items I have made. I wipe down the outside, rub a generous amount in by hand, let sit a few minutes then wipe off the excess. To apply the wax I rub a small amount in by hand then buff off the excess with a clean rag. If it’s an outdoor or heavily used product I will warm up the leather after applying the wax to let it soak in and improve the waterproofing. At this point I’ve used 4 leather creams and waterproofing oil/wax products. These products are a good balance between all of them. I highly doubt I’ll purchase anything else because of the quality and ease of use with Skidmore’s leather cream and waterproofing wax. These products make my leather goods that much better! I hope this review and the examples help you make your decision. Thanks! P.S. The leather used above is cheaper ($4-5 sq ft) veg tanned that is dyed dark brown. The wallet was treated new with both products 2-3 months ago and used daily. It has developed a nice sheen From the wax but was never tacky even at first application.
