Lexol cleaner and Lexol Leather Conditioner are excellent.   So is Hide Food by Connolly.

we just put them in the washer at 100 F adding a glas of vinegar. If they are really waterproof (Russia Leather for instance) that's enough, no further care neccessary.

That's interesting.  My wife treats all out T-Shirts in apple cider vinegar & then washes them in cold water before we wear them  Makes the colors stay bright for years..  She says it locks the colors in.
