Basic Holster care question (Hardshell)

RShaw · 12-24-2016, 02:55 PM

Hi All,

I have two holsters- a 1914-1918 P08 - and a 1942 P38 both in good condition, stitching in basically good shape with a few chafe spots only.

I would like to prevent the leather's drying out and cracking- also need to keep the straps supple.

I went to a leather furniture outlet- they had all kinds of leather care products, but none seems to do the simple job I describe above. Would simple "leather wax" work? or beeswax?

Thanks!
