I got what I thought was a leather belt in quite good condition at Goodwill yesterday and was very pleased with myself. Well, I wore it today, and I discovered that once the belt was around my waist and was flexed (not just hanging straight), there are a lot of tiny surface cracks that show up. I tried putting some leather conditioner on it, but that didn't help much. I'm scared to try shoe polish, because I don't want polish residue to rub off on my clothes. Any suggestions? Or just chalk this up as a $2.99 learning experience?
