old brittle leather holster , what to do?

pisto · 12-29-2006, 11:33 AM

have a nice PPk holster, but the leather is such brittle at some spots, that I donÃ?Â´t know what to do!
only thing I know is that the leater lost comleetly all water content.

If you will go to the main window look for General Infomation then Holster Care & Preservation it should help.
I think your in Germany so I'm not sure all of the products are available to you. If not we can overcome that problem.

Cheers

Craig, thanks a lot for your help! I made a research and found a company over here, they are saying that these grittle leathers can never be smooth and soft again.
Probably I will try their fluid nd spend some money, knowing that it will not help much...

Roland, I have never had much success with returning brittle leather back to normal. Jerry Burney
