How do I save my leather belt after it was soaked in Sea water?
I was at the beach the other day, and I had forgotten that I had my good leather belt on, it's medium thickness, about 2.5 inches wide and brown in color, when I went in the water. I got out immediately when I realized, but the leather was already soaked. I rinsed it in fresh water, and it has dried, but the leather is now a lot darker than before and a bit "flaky" and stiff. I fear I may have ruined it, but is there any way to save the leather?
Go get some saddle soap and some brown leather dye. Scrub the belt down and re-dye the belt it may take a couple dye jobs to restore the finish.
