Harmony Hollow – Leather Conditioner

Harmony Hollow now offers a proprietary blend of beeswax and neatsfoot oil as a conditioner “paste” for leather.  Solid at room temperature, it softens easily with the warmth of your hands, and can be worked into your untreated leather.

I personally use it to condition and waterproof my leather boots and gloves.  It keeps them soft and waterproof.   Available in 4-oz tins with a screw-top lid.

Use an old cloth or plastic bag (over your fingers) to apply the conditioner.  Let sit overnight, then I then warm the boot with a hair dryer to allow the oils to soak into the leather more deeply.  Depending on the dryness of the leather initially, I may then reapply the conditioner several days later.   Re-apply as necessary depending on your environment.

Treat an inconspicuous spot first to see how your leather will fare.  Note that neatsfoot oil is known to permanently darken light leather.  (see pics – the treated boots are darker).
