On to a more relevant question my leathers are a bit stiff I suppose using some cleaner and conditioner would make them more supple if I do it a few times over the winter ready for spring?

I clean, then feed, my leathers 1-2 times per year, Otherwise they lose some of their protective qualities. (Cleaning with saddle soap or a specialist leather cleaner. Then feeding with 'leather food', e.g. Chelsea Leather Food or Renapur.)

It's not just a question of keeping leathers supple, but retaining their full ability to protect. I'd clean and feed the leathers once now, leaving the food to sink in over winter. Then they'll be good to go in spring!
