This has been great on my shoes boots and briefcase. Don't see why it wouldn't work for a jacket but was just wondering if anyone had used it
How come none of that good, natural stuff doesn't seem to outside of the US? I was reading today how Pecard, being petroleum based, actually eats away the leather fibers & ruins leather in the long run. So does mineral oil, apparently. Animal fat also isn't good but propolis is. Something I'm not entirely buying at but having no comparison of my own, I'd really love to give that Obenauf's a go to see what the difference is.

I have a couple of old jackets that need a lick of conditioner. I used RM Williams Saddle and Leather Dressing for donkeys years but it's not at all easy to get here and I'm buggered if I'm going to spend more on shipping than on the product itself so a question for those who have tried it. Any members experiences of Vaseline/petroleum jelly? I see John Chapman uses it so I'm thinking it must be pretty good if he thinks it's the go.
But interested if anyone here has used it and what's your thoughts/experiences. Does it darken the leather? Is it greasy, how much to use, etc?
Thanks,
Tim
If youre referring specifically to Pecard's I can confirm this to be true. I have a few older jackets that are now in the need of a light conditioning and had heard great things about Pecard but they have original, antique, motorcycle, and didnt know which product was "best" or if there was any difference. Other than the formulas that have dye in them which are labeled all other formulas are exactly the same. They said there is no difference they label them as different to try and avoid confusion. Which for us who are so ocd about this stuff makes it confusing haha but for the normal public its easier. If you have moto jackets that need a conditioning an old leather antique, or what have you, youre going to want to see those mentioned on the label. If youre googling best jacket conditioner their products will appear. Its not to trick anyone but to let each market niche know the product will work for it. So as long as you dont buy their products with dye in them, any formula of Pecards can work on a jacket or boots.I've been using Pecards for about 10 years now, both paste and creme. The Creme in the 1 lb tub is now go to as it applies easier and is absorbed easier, the paste (or dressing as they call it) can be sticky if not buffed off but the creme seems to absorb much more readily. For boots I usually apply the dressing and leave them in the sun or warm spot, they suck that stuff up.
BTW, I once called the factory and spoke to one of the family who told me the stuff is all primarily the same, some is thicker than others or has dye in it but the basic formula doesn't vary.
