Any thoughts on the maker of this one? It's semi-local to me (or anyone else) here in Atlanta for $295

Hi
I just bought on EBay for $200 a Willis & Geiger B3. Was never conditioned so I used a Lanolin Cream. Before and After Pictures. I read this label on another B3 Jacket and suggest to use Lanolin. What you think?
Thank You
Peter

Lanolin is always good for sheepskin jackets although it takes a long while for the leather to absorb it. Heating helps.

Hi. How you been? I agree the lanolin takes longer to absorb, but once it does, it leaves a nice feel to the sheepskin. I kind of go back-and-forth with the Pecard Dressing for Cowhide. But on my B3 Lanolin 100% Pure.

Do you emulsify it in heated distilled water? Paint it on or sprayer setup? Or do you have an agent to deal with the room temp consistency.
