What is the best leather oil to use to darken my new saddle and bridle?
I just received my new custom Schleese saddle, what is THE BEST leather oil and conditioner to darken it? I'd like my new bridle to darken considerably too.
Check with the manufacturer and see what they recommend. Some leather company's don't use the same tanning processes and its possible that using the wrong product could damage your tack.
For example, Stuben uses a vegetable based tanning process, not chemical, and they created Haminol to clean and oil their products so as not to ruin the leather.
If the company doesn't have a particular recommendation, you could try Lexol brand products. You won't have the stitch rotting or rancid smell you get with neatsfoot oil. One answer suggested "mink oil or neatsfoot oil they're the same thing". They are not the same. Mink oil is actually a cream used for waterproofing leather. It will darken the leather but the tone will not be consistant and it will look blotchy. Good Luck.
