Leather Belt

I’ve only used Dubin and Neatsfoot oil

My Mum told me (and I am not sure this is right).

For boots - you are better off with beewax and natural treatments as oil based treatments rot the stitching on boots?

Hydraulic oil usually works well on softening leather.

Mink Oil or Dublin Saddle Soap

Surprised no one has suggested Urad or Rennapur? Its what horsey birds use on their leather. Also that of the horse.

Neatsfoot oil is fantastic and cheap. I found it works well on beards as well, until I read what it is made from

I had to ask my mum about this. When i was sixteen, my first work boots got sent back to the maker. The report back was dubin had rotted the stitching
