Something to "feed" a leather glove without darkening it?
I just picked up this glove for my low-end Giants collection. I didn't pay much for it. I don't have it in hand yet and it looks to be in decent condition for being 40-50 years old. That said, I'm sure it could use some "moisturizing." Is there anything I could apply to feed the leather without darkening it?

I like to use simple vaseline. It may darken the glove a bit, but it is typically just temporary. Vaseline conditions the glove nicely and moistens the leather with no staining, hardening, or other ill effects.
You might try it first on a "beater" glove you don't care about. The moisture will initially darken the leather, but after a few weeks, the glove usually retains its original tan color. Hope this helps!

Hi Rob,
You might consider looking into products used on saddle restoration. Saddles can cost thousands of dollars and I am sure you could find a product that meets your needs in that area. I used to use Neatsfoot oil on gloves. I googled the company and they produced this product Lexol E300887100 nF Neatsfoot Leather Dressing Non-Darkening 8 oz. (236-mL) I have never used it myself but it may be worth a shot. Good luck!
