Not sure if this has been brought up before, if it has I’m sorry.
Is it ok to rub some kind of leather care product on items that I’ve had made from the hides of the animals I shot last year in Zimbabwe? It just does not seem right to leave them in their natural state. I am talking about rifle bag, ammo belt, messenger bag and a few other little things.
Thank you for your help.
 
I use silicone treatment on my leather hunting boots but for hides, I would check with a taxidermist versed in African skins.
 
Good question!
 
I have found that Obenauf's is great stuff for all leather products. I use the paste on my boots and the liquid I've used on a leather (cow) jacket. It made the jacket look and feel better than new. It darkened the color slightly, but looks great. You can buy it on Amazon or direct.

I'd like a bag of 100. I could actually pick it up since I'm in North Irving, but if you prefer, shipping it is fine.
