Default Leather care?

Recently got myself a swanky leather bike jacket. What's the best way to keep it in good nick?

The best leather treatment around is gliptone leather care, you can use this on all leathers, sofas, car seats, tank covers etc.
It basically stops the leather from drying out by 'feeding' it and keeping it supple.

Cheers. Found their website. They have car leather care stuff and furniture leather stuff. What's the best one for bike leathers or does it not make a difference?

I just use the liquid leather conditioner, it says for cars seats and domestic seating etc, i use it on my leather jacket and leather tank cover.
Its expensive but works really well.
My friend does high end detailing on top end cars and uses it on them, it was him that told me about it.
