Lether restoration and protection

Rich, A fascinating story..good memories! BB gloves are usually made with a latigo leather. Pressure treated with waxes and oils. They are unlike Luger holsters which are vegetable tanned. .night and day. I would try something I would NEVER use on a vintage holster..Neatsfoot Oil. It penetrates into the leather fibers and WILL soften. The average environment found in most cars is not too good for leather storage..I would pour out a bit or so and hand work it into the glove. Messy but effective.
Thanks for the story..we all have memories of these types of things and we don't think about them as much as we maybe should!
