When you identify the right product, it may turn out cheap compared with the value of what it is used to preserve.

Why ruin good leather over a few bucks? Lexol is pretty much the gold standard for maintaining leather and it really isn't expensive. A 1l bottle is ~ $11

The common one is Neatsfoot oil, but go with Lexol. It's not that expensive and it leaves the leather in better condition - it's not just oil.

Petroleum jelly works wonderfully, applies nicely, and never goes rancid. I've used it for years and have been very pleased. I sometimes use a little heat from a hair drier or barely warm oven to make application and excess removal easier.
