Pecard Antique Leather Dressing

I’ve had the same 6oz container of leather dressing for years and years and it’s dressed many articles of leather items that I have. Pretty much every piece of leather I own has been dressed with this stuff at least once and I love the results. It replenishes moisture and softens the leather up, making it more comfortable whether it’s a jacket or a pair of shoes. It also replenishes the sheen in smooth leather that seems to be getting dull from age. And lastly, it adds a layer of protection against water, which is always appreciated. I like that there is no chemical smell too. If you stick your nose right in it, it kinda smells like beeswax and considering the dressing is yellow, I’d assume the main ingredient in this is beeswax. I like to use my bare fingers to apply it, letting my body heat melt the dressing so I can work it into the leather easier and that seems to work great. I leave it on overnight so it can soak in and do its job and then wipe it with a dry towel the following morning.. I most recently used this on my leather Converse Chucks and they look better than the day I bought them.

New life to my jacket.

Brought a 1906 WWI German bayonet scabbard back to life. Before I treated it, the leather was brown, cracking dry and inflexible. After 2-3 treatments over the course of a week it has been brought to museum quality and I can safely unsheathe the bayonet with worrying about destroying the leather.

Quality leather boots turn out beautiful. Great product, well made, and manufactured right here on American soil in Green Bay, WI. Doesn't get much better than that.

Every now and then a product surprises and delights, like when you discover some home remedy that actually works for shiny hair or dyspepsia, right? Well I have to say I am extremely happy I found this leather restorative.Our leather furniture of many years has taken a beating and way too much sun. It was dry, faded, uneven colors, abused. Bought this Pecard Antique Leather Dressing on blind faith, used a lot of elbow grease, and was honestly bowled over by the results. (Photos attached, I could immediately see I'd have to document the results.)Exhibit A: The armchair. The top surface was very much like the very light, faded area shown on the inside -- are you amazed yet? The darker half towards the front (showing contrast) is the first application of the PALD.Exhibit B: The couch. OMG. We were ready to take it out back and shoot it. First picture shows two cushions, the cushion on the left having been the most sun damaged, desperately dried out, now post treatment. It looked as bad or worse as the one on the right before I massaged it with Pecard ALD. Seriously! Now regardez the interim application to the cushion on the right, and then the "after." The two cushions aren't the exact same color, due to usage, but -- what a difference.FYI I'm an actual couch potato, and these are actual photos. Highly recommend this product.

This is the absolute best for old leather. I don’t think I’ll use anything else on older (pre-loved Louis Vuittons) from now on. It works on really dried out (as in cardboard dry) leather. The trick is to not flex it too much when it’s cracked and dry. Just put this stuff on over time, and when the leather seems to be softening up, then it’s okay to use. It won’t be like new, it will still have cracks, but it will be okay unless it’s broken into two, then it’s probably beyond conditioning and needs replacing. I used this on an old keepall with dried vachetta and it works. I can use the bag. It’s a little darker at first and then lightens up, it has an odor like crisco lol I don’t worry about it snapping into two pieces. I have actively used the bag for travel and it’s fine. It’s good to put this stuff on periodically, to retain the moisture. I also use it on a backpack and it improved the dryness immensely. It can also be used on patent leather and it even takes away some of the stickiness.

I cleaned out an old family home. Among the trash were many old treasures. One was an old rocking chair which had been painted yellow. It turned out to be handmade with a leather seat with brass tacks. I followed used Pecard's antique leather dressing as directed from their website. I have gently applied 3 thin coats with a soft rag and it is looking 100% better. I am going to add one more before buffing it out. Love this product! If you have any questions the company will be glad to answer your quetions!

This works exactly like described. I had a barn find of an old doctors style suitcase/bag, it was dried, brittle and dirty. Cleaning was separate. But the restoration went well. 4 coats of application was all I could apply before Christmas arrived and I had to pack the present. Don't underestimate the labor to restore a large item. It worked so well I am thinking about buying a old bag for me to restore. It was a pleasure to see the life come back into something old and of unique character. The leather looked fresh again and was flexible. I thought it was expensive but it works and the ratings are earned. You get what you pay for.

Works as advertised. Gave an old leather flight jacket new life.

good stuff

Thanks a lot the quality of the product is AAA very satisfied thanks a lot for the sampler gift enclosed

I never used a product like Antique Leather Car. It is a great product. Other companies use beeswax in the product, it's over done very sticky Antique Leather Dressing has just enough of beeswax in there product. I am very impressed with the way my Leather jackets turn out. This the best leather dressing I have ever used. Thank you Pecard for having a winning product.

Purchased my original tub, 16oz, to renovate an old sheepskin flying jacket and it did a wonderful job of making it far more flexible and good for many more years hopefully. However, my son took the original tub for his work boots so I decided to buy a replacement. I obviously didn’t read the advert properly. I thought £24 expensive, but it is a good product and the advert showed it looking the same (top view) and then I received it and found it was only a 6oz tub! £4 an oz!To be fair it goes a long way, but even so.

Good quality product for use on leather products

I've already used it on my 1930's turtle association saddle. Worked fantastic

Works very well, I am happy with my purchase.

Just like the other reviewer, I also used it to restore a WW1 binocular leather case. It took a few days of re-applying and worked wonders. Wish I had known before I started cracking the leather by moving it. Also applied it to a leather duffel bag that started cracking, and again it worked great. Would like to mention though that it's not fun to apply to cracks and other hard-to-reach areas. For those, Weiman Leather Conditioner spray is doing a very good job as well.

Probably the best leather conditioner on the market, I have used it for over 30 years and it is fantastic for making dried out leather supple again. Recommend it totally. Does a great job on my World War 1 German leather binocular cases. Really help with the cracked leather. I cannot recommend it enough!

have used for years good stuff

I've used Pecard Antique Leather Dressing for many years. It's great for outdoor leather treatment. I use it on my leather jacket, baseball glove, soccer shoes, dress shoes, winter leather gloves, leather furniture, et al. You can use it on wet leather. I recently found a pair of dry crusty batting gloves I mistakenly put away wet. A little Pecards and they're supple again. I learned of Pecards years ago from an OG shoemaker who swore by it. Well I swear by it now. It's simply the best.

Very pleased with this product. Will be using from now on.

I was given a can of this from my dad that dates back to the early ‘70s when I was a kid. For 30 years, I used it to waterproof boots. Finally needed another can and nothing has changed except the container is plastic not tin. Change isn’t always for the better. With Picard’s, I hope they never change and are around forever!

Very good product

I found this as a recommendation from someone who restored a WW2 bomber jacket or something. I figured it was worth a risk as I have a fair amount of leather goods that I try to keep in good shape. I ended up finding my ~30-y/o baseball glove in mom's garage when cleaning things out and took it back home. Did the traditional "clean/condition/dressing" sequence over the course of a week or two and it's turned out amazing.Lexol leather cleaner (soap-ish), Lexol leather conditioner (like hair conditioner, but for leather), and this stuff, Pecard's leather dressing (like cream, goop, the consistency of toothpaste, but kindof greasy/oily... think what you'd use coconut oil for).

Used on a antique sword. Brought back the leather. Good product would recommend.

Revitalized old, dry, cracked leather baseball gloves. (When nothing else worked.) They’re like new now.

This really can bring old leather back to life. I use it to recondition the leather sweatbands of old hats.
