If all else failed , including saddle soap, I'd take the armour out and put it through the washing machine with one of the specialist washing liquids such as Techwash or Sportwash. Don't have anything else in the machine and do it on a nice day, there should be some nice days coming. You don't want it to take too long getting dry or you'll swap one smell for another. Once it's dry you can apply the leather treatment of your choice to the outside.
I had a casual jacket with leather sleeves, the dry cleaners wouldn't touch it because of the leather. It was no good how it was, so I bunged in the machine. When it was dry it was brand new.
There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
