There's a variety of leather cleaning/care products.. your local feed 
and tack store will have dozens. Lexol is a notable one, probably the 
one in the brown bottle is what you want (conditioner.. orange bottle 
is the cleaner)

Something like hand lotion might also work.  I wouldn't use neat's 
foot or mink oil because they tend to soften it too much.
