Last week i purchsed a leather sachel type thing that came from a WW1 cavalry officer kit which is in great condition but very stiff ,so when i got it home i gave it several coats of neatsfoot oil to soften it . However the leather now has a very dry , matt appearance and has lost its glossy patena somewhat .
Should i continue with the oil or polish it up and accept that it will always be tough??
