MissAidan -> New leather gloves (8/2/2008 2:49:33 PM)
I had the good fortune to get a beautiful pair of vintage black leather gloves that have never been worn before. Sadly, they also look like no one has ever cared for them. They are stiff and don't fit quite right. Other than a little mink oil, what might help get these back to being soft and supple?

There are several products designed to soften leather. Some of them use Mink Oil, but there are other ingredients as well. There is something called Tenderly, and another called Lexol, either of which might help you.

get a small bottle of lexol , you can get it many places including tack stores , the leather will drink it .After a while put on the gloves and work it in . Asking about care and feeding i am sure your going to get many views and cures .

Most likely, since there seem to be a number of ways people prefer. So far, so good with the mink oil and I noticed they were more supple and easier to put on after they had been out in hot, humid night air for a bit last night (had them with me to show a friend). Once they fit nicely, I also need some kind of something that will help seal and protect them, since I am going to be wearing these at work. And I swear, the first coworker to Mehron sticky blood or greasepaint on my new gloves will NOT be getting their beating that night!

No more LEXOL or MINK OIL... use Aussie Leather Conditioner, thin layers of Huberd's Shoe Grease, or Meltonian Leather Balm. Mink Oil and Lexol have the potential to go rancid and eat away at the stitching over time.

I have a $125 pair of opera length black leather gloves from DeMask in NYC and your post probably saved me from making a costly mistake :)

Hydrophane, which is what horse people use on tack. It's a silicone oil, and non-staining. This is for thick leather, though; not thin gloves.

We use Bick's on horse tack. Bick's 1 for light colored stuff, and #4 for dark leather.
