Robert's idea is a good one, IMHO.
I suggest that you visit a "tack" shop (where they sell horseback riding
supplies) or leather shop and see what they suggest.  Neatsfoot oil is used
to condition leather saddles, bridles, etc., and is likely a very good
solution.  I've seen it used successfully to refurbish very dried out
saddles and other things that had small cracks in them.
