New Leather Stain?

Well, I'm currently testing a new stain I just got: it's called Minwax Gel Stain. Although it is designed for wood staining, it seems to work pretty well for leather as well. What I'm looking for (as I have been on and off for quite a while) is a stain of some sort that gives the look that I want (I think it's called the Sheridan style. . .) with the flexibility that I like. I want the leather to be able to bend in half without the finish peeling or chipping off in any way! I'm definitely certain it's possible. . . It just has to be!
