Holster preservation

I have a rather nice Nambu type 94 leather holster that I would like to preserve. It has only minor surface cracking, no blow-outs and wholly intact stitching as does its matching shoulder strap.

Question: Is it advisable to clean the holster with a quality saddle soap type cleaner, allow to dry naturally an complete the task with a leather oil replacement such as lanolin.

Jerry, in his most recent comments, has favored lanolin. It is refined sheep's wool grease with no additives. This would, on its face, seem to be the best treatment.

Thanks
