Absolutely Fantastic Leather Care product !
Let me start by saying my grandfather was a shoemaker from the old country - which has led to me being a 3rd generation obsessive of leather, especially boots, bags, and shoes. I've been taking good care of all things leather since I was a teenager so I'm very picky and like to rely on the tried and true..... I've used saddle soap and mink oil for years on all kinds of boots, shoes and bags so when I bought a vintage coach purse that needed some help, I knew I was going to start with Saddle soap. Of course saddle soap works great but the leather was still very dull in color and somewhat dried out looking. While I usually follow up with mink oil on this type of smooth leather I decided to try the "leather milk" here. It really does have a lovely almond smell and it's liquid- so very easy to work with- leather will soak it up immediately. What's amazing is how quickly it brings out the natural color of the leather and leaves it looking bright and supple again- I was really amazed. I could have left the bag alone at this point, but I still wanted to recondition the leather with the heft of mink oil. After letting the bag dry for a day it was still soft and beautiful looking. The mink oil went on without issue and overall I feel like this bag looks like it's been professionally reconditioned.I also tried this on some Ugg boots I wear a lot in the winter. They are black nubuck so technically I don't think this is the right product to use overall for nubuck- however these are well worn black boots and I didn't mind them getting a little darker. The liniment went on easily and the boots soaked up all the good stuff easily. The nubuck looks brand new again. I have a new laptop bag of very fine smooth leather which will eventually need conditioning. While it might darken the leather, I'm sure this product will keep it beautiful for a lifetime.I'm so happy with this stuff I'm going to check out their other products- like water proofing treatment. It looks like they started as a saddle bag company and developed their own treatment with good ingredients that are healthy for humans and the environment.I have to appreciate the humor of the last note on the instructions on the back of the bottle- " to help stimulate our ailing economy, buy and use more than you need". You can't use too much of this, your leather will love it, and I'd be happy to buy more from this independent company.- Update: I just used this product on my partner's gnarly Chippewa boots. If you're not familiar with these boots they are monster slip on work boots with steel toes. He put them on without treating them with anything and proceeded to chew up the front toes and drop all kinds of oil, dirt and junk on them. They were so dirty that I had to saddle soap them first but then after letting them dry the liniment product went on easily and the leather just soaked it up like a sponge. Again- the leather became darker but with all the little oil stains already on the boots, the product evened out the tone of the leather and left it looking beautiful. Not much can be done about the frayed leather on the steel toes, but this treatment will preserve the leather better than anything I've found. I'll put a coat of mink oil on these and water proof them, but the leather milk really brought the life and health back to this leather ! Still a big fan :-)

Protects leather while being pleasant to use.
Bought this for my Saddleback Leather backpack. Backpack is around 8 years old and I apply this at least every 6 months or more often if it needs it. This is what was used when new from the factory. No issues, works well and has a pleasant smell. Goes on like a thin lotion. Has no stickiness when dried. Very soft when fully treated. For me it lasts around 6 months which is very durable. For the size of the bottle this is great value for the money spent.

Wonderful conditioner, and smells good to boot!
For my birthday, my wife bought me a Saddleback wallet in the lightest possible color, and I absolutely loved it. It had tremendous character, and it aged beautifully over the first few months of its life in my pocket. Hands down, it was the best wallet I had ever owned.Then we went to an amusement park. And we went on an inner tube ride. And we all got soaked. Twice.I didn't realize the mistake I'd made until we went to attempt to dry out and I pulled my wallet from my pocket. It was soaked through. The leather had absorbed a lot of water and was now very dark in color. I panicked.But I remembered reading on the Saddleback web site that Dave Munson had had a similar experience and had simply let his piece dry, then treated it with some of this Chamberlain's Leather Milk and voila, it was good as new. I ordered some as soon as I got home from the park.It arrived a few days later and I waited until the weekend to use it, because I just couldn't live without my wallet and I wasn't sure how long the treatment would take. I had let the wallet dry for a full day before putting it back into use, and it had mostly recovered but I wanted to ensure its long life. It really is that amazing.So I opened the bottle, took out the provided applicator pad, and rubbed a bit of the conditioner on the back side of the wallet, which soaked it right up. I rubbed in a little more until it appeared that the wallet had a good, consistent coating, then did the same on the other side. The inside came next. I stood the wallet up on its end (after treating the end-grain as well) leaving it open in a v-shape to let the Leather Milk soak in and dry. By the time I came back from doing yard work a few hours later, it was mostly done, but I gave it a few more hours to be safe. I buffed the wallet with a soft cloth and it's as good as new, if a bit darker and a bit smoother than before (the untreated wallet had a soft, almost sueded quality that it no longer has, but that's a pretty minor quibble and I suspect it would have lost that over time regardless).If you're expecting some nasty-smelling liniment, you're in for a treat. I can't be sure whether it's vanilla or almond, but this stuff smells incredibly nice, and the resulting post-treatment leather, instead of smelling of vanilla (or almond) just smells nice and leathery again.Only time will tell whether this product actually extends the life of my wallet, but I know I'll be re-treating it every 6 months or so just to be safe. For leather that you want to keep around for a good long time, this is pretty inexpensive insurance.

Wonderful stain remover but discolored my boots in the process
This leather milk worked well on my boots. I was trying to remove stains from tan leather boots leftover from St. Patricks day...green beer and sloppy people was a disastrous combination for my favorite boots. I was devastated when I looked at my boots and saw big green drops all over the feet. I thought they were ruined already and figured it was worth it to try this stuff. Most of the stains were taken out which was a great surprise to me! Unfortunately the leather was discolored in the process, which they do warn you about so be sure to read all the information, and I'm not sure if I will be able to wear the boots again. They are light to medium camel color and after using the leather milk the foot of the boots is much lighter than the leg of the boots. I knew this was a risk when buying though so I am not too upset that the leather color was changed. This weekend I am going to use the milk to make the rest of the boot the same lighter color and see of I can lighten the boots evenly enough to wear again. I'll write an update on how it goes!Bottom line: great product for removing minor stains and conditioning the leather, but for bad stains on light colored leather you may want to look elsewhere.
