I can see a half-inch rip developing in my leather seat cushion. It
hasn't broken through the leather yet. I'd like some recommendations to
prevent the rip from breaking through or expanding. The easier to apply
the better. Thanks.

Duct tape . Nothing in the world easier . Of course it's not all that
pretty ...

Flip the cushion over so duct tape doesn't show?

I do not know what to do other than to try a preservative like Lexol.

Thanks for the responses. I failed to mention specifically that the seat
cushion is part of an office chair and can't be removed. I ordered VLP
Liquid leather repair which is designed to mend small rips in leather
and vinyl. Wish me luck.

I've used it on vinyl and it does work for a while. You may have better
luck with an office chair than a pickup bench set that is exposed to UV
and temperature extremes.
