Leather Restoration

[StuartJames]

I have a Dianese leather jacket that's dried out from a soaking on Sunday.
Does anyone know where I can get it restored or treated in London?

[JerryXt]

get some Renapur and apply. Simple!

Saddle soap is good as well.
I also use Nix wax on my leather.
But good old fashioned saddle soap for tack is good stuff

I use this stuff

How bad is it?

[gary tompkins]

I use Carrs leather oil too

Very expensive stuff... but I'm worth it ;)

Spot of Dubbin and it'll be good as new. And you can also use it on your chain

Dubbin is great stuff did my boots with it for years clean forgot about that!!!

Gliptone liquid leather conditioner.

Highly recommended. Does not leave waxy residue, does not affect leather or rot stitching.

do any of these suggested products NOT smell like a tramp or a wet dog?

I've always used Leather Food but it stinks like a yeastie beastie, would love a non -smelly alterative

You could always drop it off at Hideout Leathers in Essex for a wash and a buffing, http://www.hideout-leather.co.uk/contacts
or

Scrubbers, http://www.scrubbersleathers.co.uk/

Renapur doesn't. I use it on the car seats and the armchairs in the living room. Lovely!

I've ordered Renapur Leather Balsam. My jacket is the Dianese Vintage, so I don't want a shiny finish to it. Does Renapur leave a shiny finish or is it natural?

@JP Thanks for the link, I'll give them a call.
