Holster care and preservation question

Marvin, Thanks for your kind words but I am no expert at leather preservation. I prefer to be known as a student. An expert, as my Dad used to say is a fellow from out of town with a new briefcase. I continually learn as I do with leather. I do like Connolly's as I bought 25 jars of it...I only use a jar every six months but when I heard they were going out of the import business I decided to stock up.

There is a difference in applying a leather salve to old or new leather. I agree with Marvin, go sparingly on the stuff. Clean your leather before you treat it, and his advice about saddle soap is good too. Jerry Burney
