I would suggest Saddle Soap. Because of the "Lamb skin" (fleece?), lining, I would not use pure Neets Foot oil. Saddle Soap contains some Neets Foot oil and lanolin, both used to soften leather. It also contains some waxes that will put a barrior between the elements and the leather. I would suggest finishing the leather with neutral shoe polish which contains more waxes for protection.

From Wikipedia:
"Saddle soap is a preparatory compound containing mild soap and softening ingredients such as neatsfoot oil, glycerin, and lanolin. It also contains beeswax to protect leather. It is used for cleaning, conditioning and softening leather, particularly that of saddles and other horse tack, hence its name. It is also commonly used for cleaning and conditioning leather footwear and leather camera cases. Regularly cleaning of leather goods extends the lifespan and helps maintain good quality."
