You just squirt some in your hand, work it into the leather and whipe and buff with a clean rag. It actually leaves a little shine as well as cleans your leather. Neatsfoot oil is very good for keeping leather tack supple in very cold weather, but it does often cause color changes, so I'd be careful using it on a jacket. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Trouble Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2008 07:48 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] oiling a leather jacket Mink oil is good for boots, but the leather on a jacket is softer and needs a more milder wash. i got the lotion your talking about and it will do a good job. you won't be leave how much dirt will come out.
