What to put on a leather jacket?
Not the larvae that attack your plants, but a leather blouson jacket.

Does it not look better in 'vintage' mode rather than 'just bought from TK' mode?
Battered leather looks much nicer

Saddle soap and/or dubbin. It doesn't replace the colour but it does 'feed' the leather and maintain it. Bit like waxing your car really.

Thats about the best advice so far, also a baby wipe will be more than adequate to clean and add some moisture back to the surface of the leather.
Nothing will repair any area without the finished coating on, but you can encourage it to stay supple.

Nowt wrong with a leather jacket. I've just picked up a great Belstaff Panther which is in need of some TLC.
