Description

Dales Neatsfoot Oil is designed to help preserve your leather goods by preventing dryness and maintaining their natural suppleness. This specially formulated oil nourishes the leather, keeping it soft and hydrated while enhancing its longevity.

• Origin: Derived from the bones and feet of cattle, specifically from the shin and foot area (hence “neat” referring to cattle).

• Purpose: Primarily used to soften and condition leather, especially for older or stiff leather. It helps to restore flexibility and prevent cracking by replenishing oils that may have been lost over time.

• Properties: Neatsfoot oil is a very rich, heavy oil and can darken the leather with use. It penetrates deeply into the leather, but can sometimes make the leather greasy or sticky if over-applied.

• Ideal Use: Best for restoring dry, cracked, or stiff leather items like saddles, boots, and work gloves.
