100% Neatsfoot oil is the natural preservative for leather articles subjected to rugged use and exposure. When used before exposure it repels water and protects against the stiffening effect of repeated wetting/drying cycles. The primary function of a neatsfoot oil is to replace the evaporated oils in leather, replacing the oils with other natural oils is best. Used by saddle makers for over a century.
