I would find a trustworthy cobbler and talk to them - I am planning to take my white Flite by my local shoe guys and see what they can do for it. I got it free from a friend and it has little finish remaining. I have seen some amazing demonstrations where people have refinished very nice but completely worn-out dress shoes, and also where people have removed the finish from shoes and refinished in a different color.

I can't see why a leather saddle couldn't be protected and also revived every few years using cobbler's techniques. I'd also like to know what you need to do to keep the finish on the saddle and not on your pants. Obviously there is a technique for this, otherwise we'd have people with white and green and brown crotches from their leather saddles.
