I have an item that is made of extremely stiff leather, and was wondering how to care for it. I am worried about using a leather conditioner, because I don't want it to become flexible, lose it's shape, etc. However, I'm also worried about it drying out completely and eventually cracking. Is there a product out there designed for stiff leathers? Something that can condition the leather, but not to the point that it changes it's shape.

Thanks in advance, everyone.

Standard Pecards!

That's exactly what it's intended for, should work a treat.

There webpage doesn't list a product called "Standard." Is it a dressing paste, a liquid lotion, a silicone dressing, an oil dressing, etc?

Thanks again for the quick reply...

Since holster leather is invariably an oil tanned leather we recommend using Pecards Classic Leather Dressing only. Don't use a liquid since the leather could become too relaxed and lose its shape.

Hope this helps.

Most certainly Pecard! The stuff was made initially for that purpose and is used by museums to help restore and protect leather stuff. I still have the literature that was sent along with my order of Pecard and they list Pecard Antique Leather Dressing as an option. I'd call the fine folks at Pecard and they'll happily help you with your needs.
