Used it on five products, and now going to buy more used leather!
By coolreviewer1
Leather Honey. I mean, who would have thunk it. This stuff, and there is an official website for Leather Honey, but it doesn't give much more information about it than here in the reviews... for instance, what is it? It's not honey, but it feels like honey. It's not a cleaner, as you have to clean the leather before using it (unscented, disposable baby wipes are touted by professionals, and guess what, they work fantastically!). It is a leather conditioner, ah, I see said the blind man.

I recently bought a few used leather items, a couple of Coach messenger bags, a jacket, etc., from eBay. They were in reasonable shape when I bought them, but just drizzling on some LH, which does feel thick like bee's honey but is perfectly clear, made the leather supple and natural and it felt great. I threw on two or three coats, and although I thought I overdid it with the last one, as the leather was very slippery feeling, like a snake's leathery skin, I just left it overnight and the honey was absorbed (or evaporated, I can't tell) and the bag was supple as a baby's buttocks. Even the LH website says it can;t be overused, but that the excess just needs to be wiped off. I use a dedicated rag for this job, and it is sort of oily on your hands and things, so get ready for that. I did it on my granite kitchen countertop, and it looked like an oily mess when I was done, but cleaned up well.

If your leather item is with scuff spots, like on the piping or the bottom or such, this will make it look "fixed" when it's wet, but once it dried, no dice. You'll need some leather dye to get that sort of thing out, which works fantastically, really, and I have written a review of that hereTandy Leather Fiebings Chocolate Brown Dye 4 oz 2100-02 (I don't know if I reviewed this color of not, but that Feibings stuff is good stuff).

So, if you really want to order a set of leather restoration stuff, right here and now, you'd get a 16 ouncer of this (I did about five items, twice each, and still have 1/3 of this bottle left), and a small bottle of Fieblings (sorry, I can;t help you with colors that you need, I'll just say the Feiblings runs darker than you;d think), and some disposable baby wipesCottonelle Fresh Folded Moist Wipes Tub 42, something like this with no scent and no shay butter or aloe (if you can get it that way, but aloe won;t hurt much), and you'd have the complete set of leather restoration products.

Thank you.

Excellent, but subject to a serious caveat
By Village Idiot Savant
The good:

I was a little skeptical -- how can you not be? -- but this did live up to the hype: it really renewed my leather easy chair, with no odor, and not all that much work (I used a regular paint brush rather than a rag, which saved me lots of time). So it definitely works, and works well.

The not-so-good, perhaps, depending on your tastes and expectations, and why I gave it three stars instead of four or five:

Caveat emptor, in a major way.

This *really* darkens the leather -- not just a little, but a *lot*. The original color may return with time, but right now my chair is *several* shades darker than it was. I don't mind, but I didn't expect it at all, and in fact the manufacturer hedges the point. So I do caution folks out there who might mind having their leather darkened considerably. Try it on a small patch of the item that won't be visible, if that's possible, such as under a chair. If it's not -- e.g., you're thinking of a briefcase, or something where all the leather is exposed -- this probably isn't for you.

Unique and impressive leather care; two small caveats
By Larry in Lafayette
I've been looking for some time for a better leather treatment, something clearly superior like 303 is for plastics or Zaino is for car waxes, and it has been more difficult than I expected. But I've finally found it. Leather Honey has a unique effect, making leather somehow feel denser and more hydrated. It is hard to explain, but it is very different than the effect of lighter, oil-based products, and I've tried a lot of them.

Here's my experience on different things: On my favorite ten-year-old leather jacket from North Beach Leather, Leather Honey soaked in quickly in certain spots, and I added some more. After two hours, there was nothing to wipe away. The leather feels the best it has that I can recall, better than after North Beach Leather's treatment which was (it is no longer available) a combination of lanolin and some kind of oil.

On a new black leather jacket, it didn't take as much nor was the effect as dramatic, but it gave the leather a more supple feel. On my five-year-old black Tumi briefcase, it was quite inconsistent in how much soaked in right away and how much stayed on the surface. I gave it the full two hours and it all soaked in, and it now uniformly feels great. A pair of black Ferragamo's that I bought years ago were getting quite abraded at the toe. No amount of polish worked, but Leather Honey has done a pretty good job of getting that area to look like the rest. I haven't yet put polish over the Leather Honey, so that is an experiment I'm curious about. Brown Sebago deck shoes certainly got more supple and soaked in a lot. The color darkened a bit, but not a lot.

That brings me to the two small caveats: 1) Leather Honey is not a cleaner. Other leather products that I've used take up a lot of dirt when I wipe them off. By the time I'm wiping Leather Honey off, it has all soaked in. On the Sebagos, an area that was a bit dirty was just the same, but the leather under it was clearly treated. 2) Leather Honey doesn't evaporate on plastics and rubbers, nor does it wipe off that easily. A day after treating the Sebagos, the soles still had Leather Honey on them, now somewhat sticky. Obviously I should have done a better job of wiping.

I like having nice stuff, and I like treating it well. I have a new product in my arsenal. Highly recommended.
