A few tips:

1. Put NOTHING in the hide to condition it. FQHH is chrome-tanned leather and the conditioner will just sit on the surface attracting dust.

2. Wear it in the rain.

3. Don't put it in the dryer even on fluff. You'll wear out the dye. Take it from one who knows.

Just fly to Europe and wear it in the cold, wind and rain for two weeks. It'll look six months old!
Don't be afraid of rain - embrace it.
No goo needed. But I put my Aero FQHH HG5 in the dryer and had zero issues. No drama, but don't do what you're not comfy with.
