What’s the best conditioner for a leather motorcycle jacket?

Psych Doc asked:


I want to treat my leather motorcycle jacket for riding in the rain and snow. It’s not important that it’s 100% waterproof, but it is important that the jacket isn’t damaged and doesn’t loose it’s shape. I’ve heard various arguments regarding beeswax and mink oil products, and some argue against products which inhibit leather’s ability to ‘breathe.’ What are the critical issues I need to be aware of, and what’s not so important?

    I use neetsfoot oil. I don’t know what a neet is, but the oil from there feet works great. LOL. If there is a tack shop near by that would be the place to ask. I get mine at a western wear store.

    i have been using body milk for a couple of years now and my jackets are just fine. Use this once a year just to keep the jacket from drying up.
