Vinegar can affect the leather depending the tanning procedure it have been made. But i think not too seriously. If you put some neatsfoot oil or better wax, vinegar don't affect at all, because a thin protector film is created by that substance.
But remember to make the procedure in a well ventiled area, and IMMEDIATELY after the desgalvanization put some oil (machine oil, gun oil or so) or you can see in a few minutes how your hamata change to a brown colour. (by the oxid). Before putting the oil you can get out the vinegar remains with a soaking of water or water with bicarbonate.
The final appereance will be a lot better.
