Review on 🧴 Howard LC0008 Leather Conditioner, 8-Ounce - Enhanced Leather Care Solution, 8 fl oz by Brant Watson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really depends on the skin you use it on.

I bought this mainly for an almost 40 year old leather sofa that I inherited and don't want to throw away. I grew up with it and it still serves its purpose so I'm a big fan of other Howard products. Their wood restorers and beeswax polishes are staples in my workshop, which is why I went with their leather treatment option first and not the other recommended products. After applying 4 coats to the sofa over 2 weeks, I can't say for sure if it works or not. Skin doesn't look any different, feel softer or more elastic a day after applying each layer. I didn't polish the last 2 coats. I applied it and let it dry on my skin. No noticeable changes yet. Too bad. I also applied 3 coats to a 2 ply whole grain bag that is almost 25 years old. Again no change. Tried it on a 20 year old Rawlings baseball glove. One coat of paint and it looks like new. It used to be old, dusty, dirty and as I didn't notice any change in the other items I didn't bother to take a picture beforehand. I'll put on some extra coats to protect it as it's more of a keepsake now than actual use. This really depends on the type of skin you are using it on, this will determine how well it works or not. I will try other treatments in the future to compare Howard's but I don't think I will receive this treatment again in the future.

Pros
  • Conditioning with lanolin, foot oil, coconut oil and aloe vera - Protects with Brazilian carnauba wax and beeswax
Cons
  • ill thought out
