Question:
Does anyone here have any recommendations in regards to caring for leather items (gloves, briefcases...)?
Answer:
I just use Lexol (cleaner as well as the conditioner) on all my leather stuff. I use it on my coat, wallet, keycase, fountain pen case, car upholstery, and pretty much everything.
Answer:
+1 for lexol
Answer:
lexol for cleaning
PECARDS for conditioning
Answer:
Lexol, but a very judicious application, it can be a tad greasy if it doesn't absorb. I'm not as much of a fan of the Lexol cleaner ("ph").
It seems as though items like gloves and briefcases don't need as much conditioning as shoes and upholstery. I'm not sure if it's the tanning process, the type of use they get, or just the peculiarity of my experience.
Answer:
Try Leather CPR. You can buy at places like Bed Bath & Beyond, Restoration Hardware, etc. Stuff is amazing, it is the only product I have found that can be used on glove soft leathers like jackets and high end furniture. Absolutely no greasy residue. It has a money back guarantee, so not much to lose.
