significantly darkened a pair of light beige leather gloves
I received my order today and applied it to a pair of light beige leather work gloves. Leather Honey is a viscous, colorless liquid that significantly darkened the leather. The bottle says: "MAY DARKEN SOME LEATHER; ORIGINAL COLOR TYPICALLY RETURNS OVER TIME." Bottle also recommends testing an inconspicuous spot first. I WOULD H-I-G-H-L-Y RECOMMEND TESTING A SPOT FIRST. (I'd like to include a photo with my review but it's not giving me that option). The degree of darkening is very severe. If this had happened to a nice pair of shoes, I would be very unhappy. Since it's just a pair of leather work gloves, I'm OK with it. Not satisfied, but not too ticked off either. I will NOT be using this on any nice leather that I really care about (nice shoes, belts, gloves, etc.). Since I just received it today, I can't yet make any judgement about the degree to which the color will or will not recover or anything about the claims of waterproofing, softening, preserving, etc. UPDATE: It's been three weeks since I applied Leather Honey to a light-colored pair of work gloves. Despite the info printed on the bottle, the color did NOT return to anywhere close to original. Honey Leather significantly darkened these leather gloves. Again, not a big deal to me since they're just work gloves. But if you intend to use this product on some nice shoes, gloves, belt, jacket, etc., I would NOT recommend it.....unless you want the item darkened a great deal. So I'm lowering my rating from a 2-star down to a one-star. Just wanted to let you know my experience. Hope this helps you decide.
