shining a leather jacket

[Rogue Hawk]

Dull and matted is the current style for motorcycle jackets, this is one trend I hope will go away soon. I recently bought a new jacket and would liven it up a bit. Not too shinny, but just a bit so it does not look old and dull.

If you are talking smooth leather (not suede), Lexol Leather Conditioner is the best all around one. Will soften, protect, and help to preserve the leather. Will also liven up the look. NOT for use on NATURAL colored leather--will make dark spots.

The usual black/brown leather jackets are fine with Lexol use. My leather jackets get at least a yearly treatment. Have two from the 1980's and they still look like new.

If you can catch the cow to put it on.

I have a Brooks jacket I bought in 1981, every 3 months or so, I'd saddle soap it, rub it with mink oil or bear grease, and put it in the oven at about 150 degrees for half an hour or so, it's 34 years old, the lining is pretty worn, but the shell still looks good.
