Vintage leather care and coloring

[LuckyLuke]

My 63' still has a lot of original nice leather pieces left. Unfortunately they are dry and need re-coloring:

Any recommendations on this topic?

1. Do you know of any good dyes that work for vintage leather?
2. How would you recondition the leather to make it soft? (I heard that oil based products should not be used? What is the alternative?)

Thanks,

I've had good success with leatherique conditioning my wife's Beetle. https://leatherique.com/

Lexol makes another good product. Available through Eastwood.
If you have a local horse tack shop, they should have a wide assortment of quality leather treatments.
