Leather is leather in my book, I use the same technique on both my leather
skin gloves as well as my cow skin gloves and both my sets of gloves are
supple. Granted I need to replace my cow skin gloves because I have worn a
whole in a couple fingers (guess that should say how long I've had them now
using this method).

Does this work on leather also? I've got a pair of suede leather gloves
that I
really like but they have gotten dirty and stiff over the years. Sure
would be
nice to have them clean and supple again.

The best regimen for taking care of used goatskin gloves is to wash
them with pumice based soap (Lava, for example) while you are wearing
them. Then rinse them well. Wring them out--but while they are still
damp, treat them with something like Lexol or Glovolium( a product
used to soften baseball gloves--any sporting goods store should have
it) Finally, place them in the sun to dry. The gloves remain supple
and last a long time.
