Go to the experts. Look for a tack shop or saddle maker and consult with
them. In a pinch a local Farm and Fleet or Tractor Supply outlet may have
something that will work. Skip the leather care products at the Auto
Schlepper. They're bupkis.

I couldn't agree more. Any good tack shop or similar that caters to the riding
set (be it Western, English,
hunt, dressage, whatever) will have the products that work. Last I knew, Lexol
products were still among the
very best, that advice coming from a well-respected tack shop who advised me to
use same on leather strapping
for a church tower chime set -- but I digress). Whatever you use, don't expect
instant and amazing results; if
it took 40+ years to get where it is, it ain't gonna get back to new -- period
-- and it will take some effort
to get it back at all. But it's amazing how well one can bring back leather
seating with work and patience.
