I have a pair of glasses I use for fishing with leather glare guards. I sweat a lot! They have become stiff; is there anything I can use to soften them up? I have some of the Pecard products which I have used, and while I like them for some things they haven't helped on these.
Secondly, I have a knife sheath which has green stains from leaving a brass hilt in contact with the leather too long. Is there anything that will take those out?
Thanks...

F2F I don't know about the stains, but I use Lexol leather conditioner when my leather goods stiffen up. May be better stuff around, but it has worked for me...Geo

Buy a jar of Blackrock Leather n Rich. Best thing you can use for vintage leather. Should fit the bill for what you are wanting it for. http://www.blackrock-leather.com/

Speaking of leather . . . Those of you old enough to remember "The Avengers" on TV (British spy show, not the superheroes!) likely remember the wonderful things Diana Rigg (Mrs. Peel) did for leather. She just turned 78.

Probably not the same kind of leather conditioning F2F was asking about.

Try this: Ballistol History or this: https://www.facebook.com/ballistolusaOriginal Ballistol is the multi purpose oil for generations of (german) hunters. Good for your gun, dog, leather and yourself with injuries. And best of all, it's a pure natural product. Cheers, Gunwolf

Thanks all. I got a jar of Leather 'n' Rich and used it and it helped, but not as much as I would have liked. Maybe I'm just hoping for something that can't be done...
