Skidmores Cowboy Edition Leather Care Gift Set | Leather Cream and Beeswax Waterproofing Kit | Includes Applicator | Natural and Non-Toxic Formula | Made in the USA

I dont really like the smell but other than that, it works really well and easy to apply. It did help restore the look of my worn out leather tote bag. I tested it on a section of my leather sofa. It restored the shine and even out the color. I will use it to polish the whole sofa when I have time. I think this is a good product for restoring leather products.

Ive been using Skidmores on my riding boots for years now - it really keeps leather looking and feeling great, even with daily wear. Id say this product is necessary for anyone who has high quality leather pieces, or is interested in purchasing well made shoes with the intention of them lasting a while. My boots are 5 years old and looking like new.

I have several pairs of leather boots and shoes, plus gloves. Four times a year I make it a point to clean and treat them all - one pair of winter boots is going on 25 years old. I tried the cream on two pairs of shoes and a pair of boots. The cream goes a long way. I prefer applying with my bare hands because I can work the product in everywhere and theres nothing absorbed into the cloth. After a few minutes I wiped off the cream. On split leather it darkens it - I expected that. On finished leather it leaves the leather glossy and slick, like it was just polished. Theres a slightly unpleasant odor that lasts a couple of days. The oils had separated from the cream and I had to stir it in before using. I used the sealer on one pair of boots and one pair of shoes. I brush-cleaned both pairs first. I applied the wax with my fingers and worked it into both pairs. Then I heated them with a blow-dryer and worked in the wax some more. Both pairs look really nice and are 100% waterproof. The wax does darken most leathers. The blow dryer melts the wax into the threads and really helps the leather absorb the wax. But the scent of this wax is really strong, right out of the can. I actually had to stop after applying it to the first pair and switch rooms. My eyes were watering. I love the product but can do without the scent.

Comes in a very nice giftable box. With instructions on how to use each one. I did use it on my Italian leather sofa and my husbands leather shoes. Doesnt have a bad strong scent and didnt leave it sticky or stain in our clothes while we seat on the couch. A little goes a long way.

Cleaned up my old saddle like a charm! Looks brand new again. Used the waterproofing on it as well and water just beads off the leather like water off a ducks back! Fast shipping, quality product, highly recommend! Also used on linesman utility/tool belt. Turned out great!

Smells great. All natural. And it conditions the leather beautifully.

I have to say that I was a bit skeptical. I have used leather conditioner which I like and which costs a good deal less, but the fact is that this works just as well ande it is made from plant materials and beeswax, not animal products. I also like that it is produced by a small family company, and it sounds like they stand behind their products. I tried the leather conditioner on a favorite purse. It has seen some use, but was not damaged. The leather conditioner did soften the leather and will also protect it a bit. Note: It did darken the leather so it is something to consider if you will be applying it to lighter colored leather. The beeswax waterproofing might have protected it better but since it was soft leather I used the conditioner on it and the beeswax waterproofing. I used the beeswax waterproofing on my favorite pair of Danskos, because it is VERY wet where I live and I want them to last. The beeswax waterproofing did not darken the leather but it did enhance the contrast in the pattern (which you can see in the second picture). My shoes now smell as good as an old pair of shoes can smell, which does worry me a bit. I found one in my dogs den last week and now that they smell like beeswax I am going to have to hide them before I go to bed. I did point to the expense early in this review so it is only fair for me to mention that after doing a large purse, a pair of shoes and a camera case it looks like it has scarcely been touched. It does not take a lot and you can likely take care of all of the leather you own for years with this little set, which makes it a very reasonable purchase.

I have used this product for about 2 months now on many different leather goods. Boots, wallets, key chains, dog collars, belts, knife sheaths and other miscellaneous items I have made. I wipe down the outside, rub a generous amount in by hand, let sit a few minutes then wipe off the excess. To apply the wax I rub a small amount in by hand then buff off the excess with a clean rag. If it’s an outdoor or heavily used product I will warm up the leather after applying the wax to let it soak in and improve the waterproofing. At this point I’ve used 4 leather creams and waterproofing oil/wax products. These products are a good balance between all of them. I highly doubt I’ll purchase anything else because of the quality and ease of use with Skidmore’s leather cream and waterproofing wax. These products make my leather goods that much better! I hope this review and the examples help you make your decision. Thanks! P.S. The leather used above is cheaper ($4-5 sq ft) veg tanned that is dyed dark brown. The wallet was treated new with both products 2-3 months ago and used daily. It has developed a nice sheen From the wax but was never tacky even at first application.

This stuff is FANTASTIC! I highly recommend using this product on your leather goods! I bought a sand colored headstall on EBay, when it arrived I noticed that is was extremely dry. I used Skidmore’s leather cream on it, and it not only brought the leather back to life and made very pliable it also revived its natural color of a nice chestnut. I have used this product on all my tack and saddles and can’t be more happy with the results! It’s hard to find a leather product that actually lives up to its claims, this product goes above and beyond! Will buy the 1ld tub from now on!!!
