Well I've finally owned my first car with leather seats and as much as I'm going to hate So. Texas weather with them , I'm starting to get some decent size cracks. I've been using Mothers leather treatment once a month to help, but I need something to repair the bigger cracks. What's best stuff to use to repair the big cracks with?

Otherwise, Lexol and some Lanolin are good for postponing the inevitable.

My Buick's driver seat had some rips in it. My fix was a leather jacket from a secondhand store, a leatherworking needle, and a lot of patience. Would have been easier if the sewing machine I found at Goodwill was working at the time... turned out that needed a bit of an overhaul.

http://www.leatherique.com/ generally gets high marks for refinishing / restoring cracks and wear on leather seats.
