HiI have this wax for treating furniture but what is your opinion as it use for leather jacket old and new, for storage or wear? Also would you apply it over a jacket artwork/decal to protect it?
Furniture is solid and does not usually flex.When leather jackets are finishe and dyed would'nt there be sealing occur already? I think most breathing can accur through the jacket liner from inside the jacket. If it causes the jacket to crack through drying out I would worry my furniture would suffer the same fate.
I do have concern Ren Wax might make it difficult for conditioner to penetrate.

You asked for opinions which you now have (don't do it)...............It's your jacket to do with as you wish.I don't know who mentioned it (probably Rough Wear?) that re-issued A2 that gone through a re-dying process tend to preserve the leather better because it seals it from element that are harmful. While leather do breath I also believe what is not absorbed can also protect the leather. As for breathing I believe most of it happens inside the jacket through the liner than it does through the outer shell. Jackets that have lost it top coat or shellac I find tend to be vulnerable to mould and rot. I think Ren wax do protect leather unless someone had used it and confirm it is bad.

It does, when some of it is as old and knackered as mine! In fact, I'm sometimes hard put to know whether to treat it with Antiquax or Pecards.Furniture is solid and does not usually flex.

sorry..,
I have it for metal items. You can put it on the metal snaps but not leather.
No need to feel offended as I was honestly not trying to do that.Were did I say "its OK to use"?
I did offer a theory of why there are potential benefit. The so call "don't use it" folks had not actually use the stuff on their jacket to say why.
Its like saying "this movie is crap but I never seen it". Number game don't mean anything here unless somebody has used it on their leather jacket and reported its findings.
