I have used connolly hide food, after jerry talked about it. Most of my holsters I leave alone, but a couple were beat up and dried out and I thought it best to help them, then just leave them alone. I applied the hide food and I felt it made a huge difference in feel and looks.

In my opinion, I would be tempted to leave yours alone, but it wouldn't hurt it much by applying hide food to it, although it does darken the leather.
