You say your jacket is "high dollar", I'm not sure-if it is actually LEATHER-this stuff kicks butt in renewing, bringing back the luster and making things look new again!!!!!!!! It works wonders on my saddles and bridles, so if it is actually leather, and not some sort of expensive imitaion, it will work.

From my experience cleaning les expenaive leather i would say that his product is safe an reliable for all leather.

I use it on $1000 Luchese boots with no problem. On my older worn boots, it does temporarily darken them a little (a day to weeks, depending on the condition), but so far they have come back beautifully. I'd try a little on a cuff or something before committing the whole jacket. And like I said in the review it takes VERY little of this stuff (like a spray or two on a shammy. If you spray it directly on the leather, you've already used too much), followed by gentle buffing.

In my opinion, no. Mink oil softens leather, which, in your case, isn't a good thing because the jacket is already aged. You might better try one of the leather restoration products from Lexol. They come in sprays and rub-on creams. I use it on an old leather couch once a year and it helps add some luster.

I have used Ko Cao Line Leather Dressing for years. It's made for equestrian equipment. Or, if you can't find that, use Mink Oil or Lexol. To clean the leather use Saddle Soap. Basically, keep your leather oiled and soft, and treating it regularly will give you a long life for your leather things. Any leather product "gains character with age". Like blue jeans, they look better as they wear. Just keep it oiled and use saddle soap and apply one of the above conditioners liberally afterward. Remember, saddle soap cleans, it does not condition. On my boots I use Bear Grease. That stuff is serious. But for your backpack, mink oil will do just fine.

I'd treat it like any good leather. Saddle soap to clean it. Use glove oil or leather conditioner if it seems dry..

You should buy the Meltonian leather conditioner. It cleans and condition at the same time. I love it. I use for my beige and white leather purses and they come out clean looking like new.

use the leather cleaner first then the conditioner to achieve the maximum results

I would not use this for that purpose. There are lots of leather cleaning and treatment products available.

although the bottle I purchased from Amazon was broken during shipment, I have used this product before (and what was left in my old bottle I just used to clean cat food from my leather purse). I find it comparable to what any shoe or coat salesperson would try to sell you (in smaller bottles for higher prices) and see no reason why it wouldn't work on a leather jacket - but would advise trying it on an inside test area to be sure it is color fast... it goes on wet, thus darkening the surfaces initially, but usually dries true to color... good luck

I wouldn't use it on patent leather, it leaves some kind of residue on surface. Though you can mostly wipe it away, it probably doesn't stay as protection either.

My understanding of the use of this product is for wooden surfaces. I've never tried it on a leather couch. It stays wet for a long time. Therefore it may soil your clothing or be removed by your clothing. I would think you may need another product for leather materials.

I wouldn't think so I would dry clean. Its a very nice jacket and wouldn't want to ruin it. Hand clean the bugs off is what i did:/

You could use it on gloves. It will make the leather very shiny and richer looking.. However, they will be somewhat slick.. If you need to be able to "grip" anything you may encounter a problem. If however the gloves are just for warmth, they will look a lot better after the conditioner is applied.. I bought this product after a motorcycle dealer gave me some sample packlets.. I was amazed at how well this stuff works compared to the mink oil I have been using for years.. And not near as messy. I have only used this Bick 4 on black leather.. If your gloves are another color, I don't really know what kind of results you will get.. For the price, its a real good bargain. You would find many uses for it if you have other leather products.

I have used Basic H to clean leather (saddles, bridles, etc) and bought several bottles probably 30 years ago and just recently ran out and purchased more. It still worked beautifully to the end.

If it is real leather Not necessary. I just applied it over the jacket at the areas that were rubbed out and it looked great. U lose a little of the shine. But its okay.

I don't know, but I have used this for my leather jacket only. It has significant to cleans and refreshes my old leather jacket look better.

I'm not sure I would use it for that purpose. I believe it's designed for leather boots, brief cases etc. Its more of a conditioner than a cleaner.

I have been a leather crafter for 30 years. I use a tablespoon in a pint of warm water to clean leather. I have never had a problem.
