Huw, be careful with that stuff.  it's good for restoring really dried/cracked leather, but it rots the stitching.  BTDT with horse stuff, saddles, bridles, girths, etc.  After a couple of years, the stitching starts to separate.  Lexol while expensive doesn't do that.  Main reason we switched (we had a stable with 75 horses).  Problem solved.
