Saphire Creme 1925 on Leather Cap?

[Samcurr]

I have a Horsehide cap that has a nice luster and is a tea coreish brown. Also has a small scuff. Can I use the Saphir Cream 1925 to turn it back to black/cover the scuff, or is that a bad idea? Don't want the creme to mess up the hats natural luster, but I do prefer black to tea core. Cap was originally black. Thoughts/experience?

Oh. By horsehide, do you mean leather? Maybe a leather restoration site might help?

If it is a small scuff I would try a small amount of Lincoln liquid shoe wax or even their dye. The dye dries with a matte finish but can be buffed to shine and if you buff it enough there is no residue to rub off.

I’d suggest that you post your question in the leather jacket threads. Those folks know much more about dealing with these kinds of issues with leather than we lowly hat folks.
