I have a leather jacket that I bought on Ebay without chance to try it on. I've not worn it much because the sleeves are a bit narrow so I can only really wear a T shirt underneath it and most of the year I tend to be wearing a lumberjack shirt plus jumper. The leather is quite thick and is stiff, which also makes it less comfortable than I would like. What sort of leather treatment would the panel recommend to make the jacket more supple?

Linseed oil?

I'll say mayonaise too for comedy purposes, before someone beats me to it

On that note .....



Have you tried switching it off then back on again?

There is lots of stuff out there that will soften the leather from plain ol;d dubbin to more expensive purpose made stuff.

However, I would highly recommend giving it a coating of Nikwax Leather Restorer (about £6 a tin) and then a coating of Nikwax Aqueous Wax to waterproof it. This stuff also helps seal stitching holes and stops the leather from drying out again.

They now do a sponge on Leather Conditioner that also waterproofs but if its dried out the Restorer will sort it.
