My recommendation would be something like Sedgwicks Leather treatment (made from tallow, natural oils and beeswax) Wet leather should be dried slowly without heat. Be very careful using Neatsfoot oil. It soaks in fast and can turn the leather "mushy" if over applied

Thanks Stuart I can make one for you
