Carr & Day & MartinCarrs Leather Oil 300ml

This was a repeat order. It has been applied to leather that is over 80 years old and it is now as supple and good looking as it was when it was new although probably a little darker with its age. It is easy to apply and just needs a little time and maybe extra coats to works its magic.

Nice and neutral, use it on any colour of leather with confidence, it's always been excellent for boots but first time using it on other leather goods and it's done excellent on an old belt and laptop bag, a real staple in my boot care kit.

I bought this product alongside Yellow Bees beeswax leather conditioner to try to restore some old leather motorbike saddle bags. The bags were extremely dry and cracked and in need of some much needed tlc.I started by wiping down the bags and cleaning up the metal rivets and buckles. I then applied to coats of the oil both inside and out. Followed by a coat of the leather conditioner the next day.The bags have come up wonderfully and look a hundred times better than they did. Neither the oil or the conditioner is a miracle worker, the bags are still a little dry and look a little tired in places, but that is to be expected after they’ve been stored in a garage for years.I’ve attached some before and after photos which hopefully do this product justice and show just how well it has worked!Oh, the package also arrived a week earlier than expected! Great customer service :)

Excellent thanks

There are many similar products. However, this one is particularly easy to use. Apply it with a brush. Let it sink in and dry. Say a couple of hours to a day depending on the leather. Although quite thick it dries and is absorbed fairly quickly. Then a quick wipe over and you are ready to go. I have only used the product on saddlery-type leather where it works well. I cannot speak for any other use. In this role it really does perk up old leather even if it has become stiff.

I used this to revitalize an old pair of walking boots that hadn't been oiled in 20 years and were showing signs of cracking, it made them noticeably more flexible so looks like they should last a while longer. Treated a new pair of work boots to a coat, they are now more supple and look good as well. Takes a couple of days to soak in and the "mothball" smell to clear but that is no problem at all.
