Leather loves NeatsfootJan 29, 2009
By D. Chamberlain
I got a leather rifle sling which was well constructed, but the leather was a bit stiff and the color was a light tan, almost cream. For those who don't shoot: a sling is used not only for carrying a rifle, but also for shooting. When you get "strapped-in" with your sling, it stabilizes the rifle and increases accuracy.
I started applying the Neatsfoot oil rather cautiously with a clean rag, but I quickly realized that this was the wrong approach. In the end, I simply poured the oil directly on the leather and then spread it with my finger. I also used the leather to soak up any oil that spilled onto the table. I was surprised how much the leather would adsorb. About a quarter of the bottle went into my sling.
My sling is now soft and comfortable to use. The color is a deep brown which looks very nice next to the rifle. The oil does have an odd odor, but it's not strong and I don't find it objectionable.
Make sure you get the PURE neatsfoot oil. I read that the mineral oil mixes can cause stitching and adhesives to breakdown. If it doesn't say "pure" then it's not.

Good Stuff for LeatherJan 06, 2009
By Robert B. Parmenter

I used to use a Neatsfoot compound containing mineral oil, but it really seemed to dry the leather out rather than keeping leather supple & soft. Since using pure Neatsfoot oil once a year or so, all my leather goods take on a healthy shine and a base of a well-developed patina.

IF YOU HAVE "WORKING" LEATHER ITEMS, THEN THIS OIL IS A MUST.Mar 20, 2012
By D. Blankenship
For years and years I have used neatsfoot oil from LH&C (Laing, Harrar $ Chamberlin out of Winchester, Va. I have been unable to find this wonderful brand for the past several years and have been forced to make the switch Fiebing. Actually, this is okay because this stuff is as good as my LH&C.
I actually use a surprisingly large amount of this oil. Of course it has always been a standby for baseball gloves (I don't play anymore myself, but I have grandsons who do), but I also use it on my leather hiking boots, (Yes, some of us still use leather...gasp!), gun slings, pistol holsters, belts, and various objects I restore.
The key words on this product container are "Pure Neatsfoot Oil - 100 Percent." There are oils out there that are compounds to be purchase which are labeled "Prime," or "Compound." These are to be avoided as they have either mineral or vegetable oils added. Pure neatsfoot oil is made from the shin bone or feet (not hoof) of cows. For leather products, "Pure" is what you are after.
This oil softens leather and makes it more pliable. It prevents cracking an drying and it makes the leather quite water resistant.
Now there are some tings to note about this oil. It will change the color of most leather, in particular new leather. It will cause more dust to gather on the treated leather and there is a slight odor to leather that has been treated. I personally find this odor pleasing and I associate it with fine leather products. When applying this oil to leather, most bottle directions will tell you to take a soft cloth and apply it with that. I have found that applying the oil directly to the leather, if possible, and rubbing it in with your hand is the best method. I have also found that, in this case, more is better. You will me amazed at how much of this stuff leather can soak up. It should also be noted that frequent reapplications will go along way in keeping the leather up...don't just apply it once and expect it to last a lifetime.
This is a good product at a reasonable price and it is sort of a must for the care of leather products - in particular those products that are "working" products.

Great productDec 11, 2011
By Consumer Joe
Used it to break in my new Brooks saddle. Used about half of it to saturate the saddle and it worked great. When I got the package I was surprise how small the container is but as advertised it is 8oz.
