I have a leather jacket that's in pretty good condition, but can get a little dry between I cleanings. Right now I have a cleaner/conditioner in one that I got at Wilson's Leather, but I'm not too happy about its performance. Do you think Lexol pH is okay to use? I don't know how to describle the type of leather except that it's what you expect a normal leather jacket from GAP or Banana Republic or J. Crew to feel like.
Is Lexol okay to use on leather jackets?

I've used it with good results.

Just don't use too much lest a) the garment gets slimy/messy and/or b) it conditions *too* much at the seams, allowing the stitching to pull through the leather if it's stressed. And of course it'll smell like Lexol, so make sure that's OK with you 
Most "light" leather treatments seem OK for leather jackets, but I really don't care for the slime factor so I treat them very infrequently. I don't mind creases/etc. and reasonable wear, but yeah, you don't want to let them dry out either. And I try to *not* have them cleaned if I can avoid it. A little spot cleaning with leather cleaner can go a long way.

I treat mine in the late summer but I did skip last season. The previous treatment appeared to still be plenty active.
