Default will this leather live again?

hello
any ideas on bringing my leather back to good?
its far far better than most tennis 1/2 leather but its dried and cracked
some of it even looks discoloured but i think thats the lower end of issues these seats have
seems a shame to not save them while i can, they usually split at the tops of the side bolsters
but for 25 year sold i think they did ok

Try some dubbing. Will keep the leather more supple and not crack.

Have a look at some of the products on this web site, no reason why you couldn't sort that leather out with plenty of time, effort and the right products !

I bought a pot of the stuff similar to whats on the link above and it sorted mine out.I think you will have to cut a bit of the leather off and send it to them so they can match the colour up.

I bought mine of a stall at the central day show a few years ago.
