I have to admit that I don't do anything other than allow them to dry out thoroughly after a wet shoot.  The husband has had his leather cartridge bag for around 20 years and although you can tell it has been well used, it is still in excellent condition and he does nothing either.

The best I have found and have now used for years to treat leather gunslips, bags, saddlery, boots and shoes etc is a product called Renapur leather balsam which is £12 for a 200ml container but it last for a very very long time and it is very easy to use and apply, you can buy it online www.renapur.com they also have other good products. I have no connection to the company just speaking from personal preference and experience after trying many products, hope this helps they do attend quite a few country shows etc selling the products there too.  :thumbsup:

Yes for Renapur. Bought a tub in 1998 and it's still good! Transformed an old leather slip.

I use baby wipes (really) to clean the mud off.... and then I apply Lord Sheraton Leather Balsam (you pick it up in the supermarket) - just dab a little bit on with a cloth, spread it around and buff with a duster.

I only really do it a couple of times a year, but it comes up lovely!

Dubbin used to be the only thing for leather!
