I have made a couple non-cowboy belts using vinegroon. I haven't tried Lexol on them but I have tried both Skidmores and neatsfoot oil. I have noticed that the neatsfoot oill gives a little bit of a richer black than the Skidmores if used alone, but what I really found works well is neatsfoot first and then top it with Skidmores. The Skidmores seems to hold the richness of the oil in but gives it a nice sheen on top.
