just pulled out my old leather coat. Its been in storage for a while, and even before then it was in used condition (hand-me-down). The coat is double breasted, 3/4 length black leather and the only problems are that the leather is stiff and feels hard, and there are 5 missing buttons and small pea-sized holes in the leather where the buttons used to be. I need any information on how to repair this coat and get it into the best condition possible for as little money as possible and I need the coat to be ready to wear by saturday morning. Please, if you don't have any helpful info then don't answer, and in advance, thanks for all who do contribute information.

clean the coat with saddle soap and then, if it still needs it, rub it with neatsfoot oil. Your coat needs some TLC. Read the directions on the saddle soap and neatsfoot oil jars and follow them precisely, but be real gentle on the leather until it becomes supple again. Sewing hte buttons back on should be pretty standard as sewing buttons, but use a strong needle.
