Over the years, Passier Lederbalsam (Germany) has secured its position as a
favorite leather conditioner for saddles, bridlework, boots, handbags -
just about anything leather, and with good cause. Its blend of oils and
waxes penetrate to strengthen leather, maintain moisture, and offer
protection from water and sweat. As an added bonus, it smells scrumptious!
Passier Lederbalsam is textured much like Vaseline, though firmer (waxier?) in moderate temperatures. It does have a low melting point, and absorbs easily at room temperature. The warmer the temperature, the faster it absorbs.
I
usually apply Passier Lederbalsam to cleaned leather with my fingers,
rubbing in thoroughly. After it's absorbed, you can buff with a soft cloth to
a nice sheen. Really, it's simple as it gets, yet it maintains leather beautifully.
Because Passier
Lederbalsam has been around for decades, longtime users swear to its
ability to keep their equipment looking and feeling great year after
year. I feel it's unsurpassed to keep work tack and vintage saddles
supple, strong, and looking classy.
