Leather Dressing 6 oz – Waterproofer and All-Purpose Leather Conditioner for Oil-Tanned, Chrome-Tanned, and Exotic Leathers – Cleans, Conditions, and Preserves

Very happy with this stuff. Smells like honey because of the beeswax content, that was a nice first impression when I opened it. Other leather conditioners/dressings I have used in the past had strong chemical smells and I really like how natural and simple this stuff is. I bought a very nice handmade vegetable tanned leather belt that I LOVE and wanted to take care of it, plus the edges weren't slicked/burnished to my liking and after reading about it I figured I'd try to clean up the edges myself. I got this today and rubbed the surface with a light coat and then went to work on the edges. It was a quick and easy job as this stuff instantly made a huge difference, I repeated a couple coats and rubbed down the edges to a nice slick/burnished look. I am super happy with it and this tub is larger than I expected. I wasn't sure what 6oz of it would really look like but it was only $3 more than the 2.5oz and had prime shipping so I figured why not, but based on how much I liberally applied today I barely put a dent into it. I expect this to last me pretty much forever as I don't really own much leather but I will definitely be using this on any leather I have it is GREAT!.I attached a before and after picture so you can see how nice it cleaned up the edge, it also really brought out the nice natural leather color in the belt. I love the look of natural undyed vegetable tanned leather and I really like how this beeswax based dressing shined it up, and it will really help protect my nice belt for years to come.I highly recommend this product if you are looking for a good leather dressing, I mean come on they've been around since 1902! You don't stay in business that long by being sub-par! Go ahead and grab a 6oz tub it will last forever and you will be very pleased, much better than gross smelling chemical alternatives. 5 stars!

As an active motorcyclist, I have more leather gear than should be allowed and I am constantly searching for ways to clean, soften and protect heavy leather boots, jackets and gloves. I have tried various oils and pastes including mink oil (natural and synthetic), neatsfoot oil, Obenauf's, Leather CPR and a number of oils and waterproofers. (I have to say that Leather CPR is the best cleaner - better than saddle soap IMHO and does an adequate job of softening new leather.) After stumbling upon a forum of vintage leather jacket buffs who highly recommended Pecard's Leather Dressing, I decided to give it a try.I tried it first on a pair of relatively new Vanson competition weight leather jackets. These guys are made of VERY heavy leather and have broken in some over the past few months but remained only semi-comfortable. Although the manufacturer recommends using a light cloth, I followed the advice of the old jacket buffs and used my bare fingers, working about a six-inch square section at a time. The heat from the rubbing helps the leather absorb the dressing and I could feel the leather begin to soften as I worked it in. When done, each jacket had a glossy sheen that mostly went away overnight as the leather fully absorbed the treatment (only one required a light buffing with a cloth the next day).Next up was a Schott 418 (Perfecto-style but a slightly blemished leather) that has been notoriously stiff since purchasing. This time I used an old tube sock and worked it in continuously, allowing it to set overnight.All three jackets were much softer and more comfortable the next day!I then used the tube sock application method on a pair of Frye harness boots. Again, they seemed to soften a bit immediately and were noticeably more pliable the following day. Have only had them in a light rain so far, but they do seem to be dryer.All in, I'm extremely satisfied with this product and will continue to use it on all my leather goods.

Great product , not greasy.

I bought this dressing to try restoring a cheaper genuine leather jacket that has a lot of sentimental value. I applied the dressing to half of the jacket and set it on a chair to dry. I took a photo on the third day of my experiment and attached it to this review. The progress is incredible and I am happy to have purchased this product. I have since applied it to an Italian military surplus full grain leather pistol holster from the 80s and it increased the sheen & look (as it did with the jacket), but more importantly the pliability of the dry leather holster. This stuff is awesome for my restoration needs.

I’ve used the Harley leather conditioner for many years. It’s no longer available so I tried this. This Pecard leather dressing is great! I lather it on thick with my bare hand. Then let it sit in the hot garage all day. The leather absorbs it and I wipe off any excess. Great stuff!

It does a nice job on my Russell leather boots and shoes. They are up to 15 years old and look very good after careful care. When one's wide feet require $450 custom boots the care becomes critical. Regular quarterly applications of Pecard has done the job. Be sure to warm the leather a bit with a hair dryer and then just use your bare hands. Very simple.
