New holster review

[Infidel]

Do not use neats foot or any leather softeners on holsters. They will soften the leather and make re holstering difficult.

Only if you use too much. I use Neatsfoot oil on every holster I make after molding and before the final finish. This replaces the natural oils drawn out of the leather in the dying and molding processes. After that an annual thin coat of oil is plenty, brush it on and then wipe off the excess with a paper towel. Do not saturate the leather or it will soften the leather. Neatsfoot oil is my preferred leather treatment since it's cheap and I always have it on hand.

Maybe on super thick leather holsters. I have a Don Hume OWB that looked dry to me I put a light coat of neatsfoot oil on it and it softened the holster. I'll leave mine dry.

I have use Hoppes gun oil on leather just on the contact pionts inside to reduce carry wear I also picked up a nice older holster very dry and cracked sprayed it down with hoppes an brought it back to life it never over penetrated and softened the leather but can not say it's the same for all.
