Lugerholsterrepair, I suspect its the alkaline base. This is inherently dangerous to leather. I had my first experience with a mint unissued cartridge box that I purchased from Norm Flayderman. He had a manufacturer's crate of boxes that he opened and sold. The box I recieved was beautiful. I should have left it alone. After saddle soap all but the front cover was horribly alligatored. At the same time I treated a '60 army holster. Same sad sight. This was in 1975. Why, when, where not to use saddle soap, in my opinion, is when your not cleaning expensive harness. I really don't want to start anything. I have learned a lot from your posts and respect your work. I just feel there are much better products out there for preserving good leather. I would like to learn more about the Jaguar stuff that everybody has been talking about. Have you tried it?
