Obenauf's Leather Oil (16 Ounces)

I have tried, used and abused all the best water proofing methods and substances over a thirty year period throughout the brutal conditions that Scotland can generate. This oil is for new applications on to new leather and builds up the base. It's counterpart Heavy Duty LP (8 Ounces) feeds and waterproofs the leather. This combo has an endurance that none of the other well know brands have. It works. it's good to see it available in Britain again, but should be cheaper. Good natural ingredients. It's developed for Firefighters in the U.S. Wilds of Idaho in the U.S of A

Having seen this on online reviews from the US I wanted to try this out. But it was not available this side of the pond, until I found this seller importing it and selling it here. Happy about my find I went ahead and got some, as well as the wax and waterproofer. I LOVE THIS leather oil! It smells pleasant, applies easily, soakes right into the leather. I have treated and restored a couple pairs of my work boots now and will keep using it. Amazing product.

it is one of the best leather care products in the world. It is not weather or waterproofing product. It softens the leather (boots,shooes, belts, leather jackets or gun slings) and prevents cracking, making the leather product look new.

Brilliant oil won't be using anything else from now on!

Easy to use. Soaks in quickly and thoroughly. Makes the leather supple and moisturized. It worked wonders on my neglected Sperry Top Siders, a random pair of winter Ecco brand boots, my Zamberland leather backpacking boots and a very expensive pair of Fiorentini and Bakers. Only caveat is it will reduce shine on shiny or finished shine leathers and does darken existing colours. This doesn't matter on black shoes but it is noticeable on brown leather. It isn't a dramatic change and I really like how it looks and made the browns richer.

Moin das Oil ist genau so gut wie beschrieben. Meine red Wing Schuhe sehen aus wie neu- das ist echt unglaublich. Die Lieferung erfolgt so schnell wie angekündigt. Der Preis war korrekt. Ich werde den Nachschub immer wieder hier kaufen. Danke und Grüße aus Hamburg

Efficient, effective and odor friendly

I probably didn't need to order the product in some a high quantity. Using on black leather products but even still it puts a nice shine whilst giving it that added weather protection. I was surprised how far you can stretch this oil across your leather to keep 'er going for years to come. The consistency of the oil is not as thick as what I was expecting. Love it so far. However, if you aren't conditioning leather in large quantities you could probably so with ordering a smaller quantity.

I have an old teenage rebellion heavy metal motorcycle style black leather jacket that for almost 30 years now that has spent many years in my closet now because of its sorry condition. Granted, I treated this jacket horribly in my youth. It had been through everything and it looked like it with a lot of light grey wear, scuffs, scrapes and even cuts. It’s seen extreme hot and cold, been used as a pillow and blanket many times, had many various drinks spilled on it, was rained on, sweat in, slept in, sat on, thrown around on sand, dirt, mud and water. Youname it and it’s been there, done that. And after all of that, I never, ever cleaned it or treated it. I pulled it out a couple years ago to wear it and I couldn’t. It was too stiff to wear comfortably so I put it back in the closet. The best words to describe it were stiff, dry and crunchy. I can across Obenauf’s leather oil here a couple months back and decided to give it a try. I tell you, when I first started to apply the oil with the applicator, my jacket absorbed it faster than a hot desert does with a sprinkle of water. I noticed that the treated parts immediately started to loosen up. I originally planned to apply one coat but it was disappearing so fast that I just kept making my way around and didn’t stop applying until the wet look didn’t instantly disappear anymore. I ended up using more than half the bottle as the jacket didn’t stop drinking up till that point. The end result was a complete transformation. What began as a stiff and dry old jacket shortly became a soft, pliable and truly restored looking and feeling leather jacket. And it even has a newer leather smell to it. The most miraculous result came from an 4 inch square on the back shoulder that had long ago faded to a light grey/brown. I never understood why that part only changed color so drastically but it did and I figured I’d have to dye it again if I wanted to return it to its original black. I didn’t think this oil would do anything but soften that part of the jacket. When applied to that faded square, it instantly turned it black. I thought it was just wet and that it would lighten up as it dried but it didn’t and it hasn’t. It’s black again and you’d never even know where that faded patch was anymore. Incredible! I just wish I had taken a before picture but I had no idea this would be the result. The rest of the jacket also looks a much darker and deeper black like it used to. In fact, it hasn’t looked or felt this good since those first year after I broke it in. I had no idea a jacket in the condition mine was in could ever be restored like this from a simple oil treatment. I can’t recommend Obenauf’s Leather Oil enough. If it could transform my old and abused jacket like it did, I don’t think there’s much it can’t do. I’ll be using this for any other present and future leather products from now on. Get it if you need it. It really works.
