what to put on leather suit

[tattoo]

after washing my 2pc leathers with leather soap i would like to know what after treatment should i use to keep them supple and stop them cracking/fading and maybe alittle waterproof if that possible

back in the day i used saddle soap, its a equestrian product hunt down your nearest equestrian shop it should be in stock
hunt down see what i did there

Saddle Soap is good, especially if the leather is a little old and tuff.
I'm using the Nikwax range at the moment. The leather restorer is quite a good product and it gives some weather protection.

A breathing hole.



























Seriously though, I think Macdee and Pete are right but I'm sure there are a lots of modern equivalents these days. Just had quick look on the bay and found some Corbin Saddle cream.

I bought a couple of tubs of this at the bike show a couple of years ago -

It works well.
Just as an aside I have been cautioned in the past to be aware that some of the products on the market can have an adverse effect on the thread used for stitching leather items.
