Light leather

[swaartpaard]

Any ideas on what I can use to soften a new light coloured bridle (white)???

I normally use Ko. Cho. Line but I am worried it will strain the leather possibly?

Curriers grease. It's light coloured. I wouldn't use Kocholine on white, just in case.

Hoopers, or Abbey 1882, Sedgewicks do a grease too which is the same waxes and fats that they use in the process of making bridle leather.

Co Cho Line can leave a tinge on white leather.

I've used Sedgewicks on light leather successfully.

The Sedgewicks grease is lovely - I love the smell!

Thank you

I picked one up in Holland or Hubby did for a presie, it's ok quality. So will do for a little while I suppose. If Oeke ever stops spending all my money I want a handmade white one from Kis Vihar....

The Aussie leather stuff in the Yellow tin is very good stuff. Not so smelly as Curriers grease.

I think you should (but not for when I finaly get mine)....the bridle's they do are not half as nice as yours. I see a hole in the market for you!!! You coud do white everything for them...
