Hey guys, i recently purchased a new alligator strap from Kain Heritage for my Pam111 and within two weeks ive noticed some very slight micro cracks where the strap bends around my wrist. Ive been wondering if any one knows of a conditioner or something that can moisten the strap and prevent the cracks from getting any worse. Thanks guys! |

I just use Vaseline on both my alligators and calfs. Let it sit for a while and then give it a good wipe to get rid of any residue so it does not feel greasy. Does not discolor and seems to do the trick. Someone will probably tell me - Don't use Vaseline because ....

Many say that modern leather doesn't need feeting/hydration etc but if you really want to do it use a dedicated leather conditioner. Leatherique is one I can think of now, doctor leather and colourlock |
