What sort(s) of fat would you suggest, and how much? I've never applied oils or dressings to suede, so I don't know how treat it without making it tacky.
I use "Effax Lederfett" (leather grease) on all leather it helps to bring out the colour apply it a bit at a time with your hand and rub it in the warmth of your hand will help the leather absorb it keep going untill its completly absorbed, probably any good natural leather fat from a tack shop will do... it must be totally natural ingredients though, different kinds of oils and fats combined nothing synthetic.
You can clean the leather with leather soap.

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
