Looking After Leather Hat

[butchthedog]

Hi All,
I have a Barmah "Australian" leather hat, can anyone advise on care and maintenance. I have had it for a few years now and Currently it smells sweaty and has white sweat/water marks on it. Please help to make it sweat free and clean again, any advice greatly received. Thanks in advance.

Will I need to put seat cover's on me jallopy so they don't get contaminated then.Oh an will I need to bring a char wallah with me (if that's the correct term and spelling). Was wondering if anyone had any SCUBA gear I could borrow for the trip so as I could breath easily in your presence. LOL
