Re: cleaning belt and buckle
Frenchy, it is all personal taste, I would not clean them myself, if the belt was very dry I would use saddle soap to soften the leather, but that is me.

Re: cleaning belt and buckle
I wouldnt touch the buckle at all, but if you need to clean the belt, wipe the heaviest deposits of dirt with a damp cloth, thouroughly dry , then either use saddle soap to soften the leather or use black boot polish, leave it on without polishing for a few hours,then wipe it off with a dry cotton cloth, you can then apply a very thin coating of petroleum jelly ie vaseline and again wipe off all excess

I too would leave it "as is"...but that always comes down to personal choice.

Re: cleaning belt and buckle
Hi, I agree only the minimum cleaning on the buckle but leather is another thing. It dries out over time and remember these belts are at least 65 years old some older than this. Dubbin tends to be greasy as it water proofs leather, women use unperfumed skin cream on their faces and it hydrates well. I use my wife's face cream (expensive) it sinks into the leather and hydrates it well without removing the grime. Does it harm skin? Well leather is a skin isn't it?
Cheers, Roland.
