              thanks a lot for the update G.
              I have to say that I like the olive oil one the best…right after that, is the "none" sample!
              how many times have you applied the oil now?

                                wonder how much of a difference you would see with actual movement of the leather.  a belt or a patch on jeans bend & that's when they develop cracks & the like . . .

                                    just extra paste that accumulated in the holes while it was being applied and was not removed

                                        LP for the win imo. Good to know, since that's what I use  😃

                                          Mustang for the win IMO 😉

                                          As it also kinda preserves the natural color (compare with the untreated leather, closest in color) but it also maintain the leather and keeps it in good condition

                                            look at the difference around the holes.  "none" seems to be showing some weathering while the treated leathers still look pretty smooth.

                                            whoops looked again the "ober oil" looks to have some creases as well  :-\
