NOTE: If you love your leather jacket or apparel, then bring it to a professional leather cleaner to have it properly cleaned and conditioned. Use this info at your own risk. I have been conditioning my leather jacket for over 15 years, you should bring your jacket or leather to a professional.
The leather conditioner adds oils to the leather to keep it supple. After drying, the surface of the leather is not greasy. Its super easy to use and apply. It takes about a day or two completely dry after being absorbed by the leather. Keeping leather supple prevents leather from drying out and cracking.
Stuff used in this video:
Lexol All Leather Conditioner ( amzn.to/3FmqUKC )
Microfiber towel ( amzn.to/3DLP5l9 )
1. I usually clean my leather with a moist warm microfiber towel ( amzn.to/3DLP5l9) to wash off any dirt off the leather. I dont use soap. Just water. and dry off with microfiber towel.
2. Let the leather surface is dry.
3. Shake the Lexol All Leather Conditioner ( amzn.to/3FmqUKC ) well and apply to microfiber cloth.
4. Test the conditioner on a small area hidden area of the leather to see if how the product reacts to the surface (color change, texture, smell). If test results are good, then continue.
5. Shake to mix, and apply to towel.
6. Work on one leather panel at a time for consistency.
7. Wipe on a thin coat to let it absorb into the leather.
8. Wipe off excess.
9. After applying to entire piece, let dry and review for missing spots or extra dry or flexible leather areas (shoulders, under arm, pipping )that need conditioner for added suppleness.
10. Review the next day if second or third coat is needed for color consistency or more leather suppleness.
Repeat every 6-12 months depending on leather condition.

Just conditioned my jacket with bee-wax-conditioner. Made it look fresh! Thanks for the tips.
Good video! More people should be conditioning their leather goods.
Nice jacket! I’ve tried Lexol in car, but not sure I would use it on a Jacket until I knew ingredients.
Vaseline is great for softening leather :)
Great 👍
I just bought a new Lucky Brand distressed leather jacket. It’s not even here yet. Looking at the photos, the distress processed has removed some of the color, or dye. I’m wondering if I should put a conditioner on it after I get it, and which should I use.
Is there anything synthetic in this product you’re using? I’m an equestrian and have very expensive leather harnesses, equipment and saddles. I know never to use anything synthetic as it degrades the stitching. Please tell us what ingredients are in this product you recommend. Thanks 🙏
Hello do you think I can use this on a lambskin bag? My bag got soaked with water
Can I apply an type of moisturizer on my leather jacket
My jacket is 35 years old and I'm going to try this product.
If you really love your leather jacket, bring it to a professional. Good luck. I like my jacket and have been doing this for years but I don't mind replacing it. Some leather can not be repaired and need to professional repairs or maintained.
@@SterlingW8 where would you take your Jacket for maintenance?
@Hunter's Weapons yelp leather jacket care and there are many in Los Angeles CA
@@SterlingW8 I just used Lexol and my jacket came alive ‼️
I'm about the same age with your jacket. I guess we were made at the same year😅
Please tell us what’s in the Lexol? Is there anything synthetic? I’man equestrian and have expensive leather equipment, harnesses and saddles, as well as leather coats and pants. I know not to use anything synthetic or it can degrade the stitching! Much thanks!
I have no idea whats in Lexol. You may want to check their website. Other than using it on my leather car seats, my jacket, and other consumer leather goods, i am pretty happy with it over the years. Not sure about horse saddles... sorry... with anything that needs special care i would being it to a professional.
Hmmm... interesting www.whatsinproducts.com/types/type_detail/1/23715/standard/div%20id=%22cke_pastebin%22%3ELexol%20All%20Leather%20Conditioner,%20Step%202-10/21/2020/div%3E/05-022-008
@@SterlingW8 thank you!
Brother what can I do to get rid of the oil stain,? I was foolish enough to use coconut oil for polish as a moisturizer.. Now there are stains..
That's sad.
Ive found lexol to leave a tacky finish which i don't like at all!
Have you found good alternatives? A tacky finish does not sound very inviting at all
So basicaly, to condition leather use leather conditioner. Thanks.
Pretty much
RENAPUR is very good. Pot lasts forever.
