Any leatherworkers here? I have an antique bag with leather

Give it a once over with amyl and get high, then oil it up

Da fuck is amyl?

Product looks fine. Neatsfoot is the best you can do. Use a liberal amount and let it soak in.

Amyl nitrate, leather cleaning product that can give you a short high

I thought it was for cleaning VCR heads?

He's just messing with you. The best product to use for oiling your leather would be your own semon.

Maybe it can as well? I've only known it as a leather cleaner

Depends on how "dry" it is, and what kind of leather it is.

Some used in garments and handbags/luggage has a fabric backing that can become detached or damaged if you try to oil it, and some "leather" are actually a bonded product that may disintegrate if oiled.

Also, Neatsfoot will darken lighter leathers, and may lift the dyes or colors from some finished leathers.
There are a lot of other products out there that may work better for what you're describing.

Pics of the leather in question might help

neatsfoot oil and mink oil permanently soften the leather, but they do that by damaging it. They're fine for a baseball glove, that you will trash & replace in a few years anyway. Not good for anything you want to last a long time....

the best treatments for leather are ones that contain sheep/mutton fat. mutton fat + liquid soap is an old recipe, but mutton fat can be hard to get if you don't live in a sheep-ranching region

(note: I am in central USA...) I normally just use Fiebing Aussie Leather conditioner myself
It can help to rub a light coat on, and then put the item somewhere with warm temperatures, to help the conditioner soak in a little better/faster

What about lanolin? It's readily available.
Is it good for leather?

Neats foot oil is fine but if the leather is too dry it will leave some residue or spew you could try with mineral oil.
