As does Rivendell. Here's their page on the B-17, where they recommend one light treatment of proofhide per year.

Yet, for whatever reason, they don't sell Proofide any longer. Now they offer Obenauf's Leather Treatment as good for Brooks. Perhaps the message is that Proofide is a good and worthy product, but nothing magical in it that something else might not equal.
