    I take mine neat

    Neats foot oil does have a tendancy to "bleed" onto clothing. One trick that has worked for me when neats foot oil is used, is to let it "settle" into the leather for a bit, and then paint over it with the white of an egg. The white dries to a soft sheen, and the oil does not come through it.

    Be careful "folding" a thick leather belt...make sure it's really wet (soaked) if you do, and go very slowly. Fold it too fast and tight and you could blow the finish side out in an ugly split. Been there, done that. Take your time and use your hands until you get it good and flat...then you might want to put a weight on it until it dries.

    To be fair, pure neatsfoot oil is still available.


    ...indeed, for better or worse, it seems I am a champion of this product.

    You and me both, I started using it 40 years ago on baseball gloves and have used it on everything from boots to belts. Never a problem.

    Well, I invite you to have this conversation with saddle makers and oil manufacturers. The definition in the industry of "Pure" is very broad.

    I said that other oils would work also. I also said that I used it initially and then opt for something else when it matters.

    The bottom line is use what works for you and don't put it on you clothes. Good day.
