Carr & Day & Martin 500ml Belvoir Leather Balsam Intensive Conditioner

I have bought multiple similar leather conditioners and oils from just about all the other similar products available. I have had the best results with this leather balsam that I have used to treat my multiple designer leather jackets and other leather goods. I bought this product after seeing how it was used at various dedicated leather restoration businesses. Leather is cleaned and oiled to perfection, with beautiful dry down appearance. No discoloration or change in color of underlying leather. Leather remains soft and supple with very nice scent. Highly recommended.

Softens leather

This balm is heaven for my tack and boots. It is absorbed well by the leather making is soft and supple. It also smells quite nice. The only downside is the integrity of the sponge it comes with isn't the best so I end up using my own tack sponges about halfway through the jar because the sponge it comes with starts breaking apart into little pieces. Still a wonderful product that I'll always have on hand!

This is just my good old reliable. It never disappoints!

My saddles haven't had conditioner in over 2 years. With the first coat of this, I could tell an instant difference. After 2 coats, they looked completely back to life again. (They are kept in the AC but were still quite dry.) Yes, there is a perfumey smell that I can see could affect someone but it did not bother me. And, a little goes a long way with the product, so that's always nice. I read reviews and decided to use this and I couldn't be more pleased. I would definitely recommend.

There are other products out there that do as good a job as leather balsam, typically balsam-based products with a stabilizer such as beeswax to further help with waterproofing... but this product works great for quick wipedowns after cleaning your leather goods when you don't have the time or energy to really get in there and work the product in.A quick scrub and wipe with saddle or glycerin soap, followed by a generous application and wipedown with this product, will keep most leather in great condition. It does contribute to darkening over time, so using this on some lighter colored leathers (that you want to keep that way) is not advisable.I use this for two items I own, an oil-tanned cowhide messenger bag and some soft greasy brown Doc Martens boots that I've had for over 20 years.

I've been "out of the saddle" for close to 18 months - a combination of surgeries (shoulder repair, melanoma and heart) but I went back to riding about 4 weeks ago and could not believe how bad I was! No rhythm, no feel for it at all. Then my trainer got in my saddle to show me something and yelped ab out how slick the leather was! She couldn't sit the horse right.Carr & Day & Martin and JPC Equestrian saved the day! I ordered it, treated the saddle and I had a fantastic lesson on Buzz. I had been so focused on just staying in the saddle that I couldn't find any rhythm and wasn't having much fun. This product made my saddle ridable, again. The price is competitive and delivery is to my door. Thank you for taking the worry out of riding.
