To retain its beauty and other desirable qualities, Leather requires frequent conditioning to replace the natural lubricants lost during normal use.
Leather Dyes: Whenever cleaning your leather apparel by hand, you may notice a small amount of dye may come off. This is normal and part of the wearing process.
1. Because unprotected leather is susceptible to spotting from water and other liquids, a newly purchased leather item should be treated immediately to prevent permanent stains. The use of too much oil and wax, however, can clog pores, causing leather to lose its ability to “breath” a term used to explain how leather allows air in and moisture out.
2. After Use Always Hang Leather Coats on wide padded hangers not on the bannister.
3. Do not store leather goods in plastic bags or other nonporous covers once received. If clothing must be stored in a garment bag, keep it open for ventilation. If this procedure is not followed the leather will be unable to breathe and mildew will form on the surface of the skin.
4. Allow wet or damp leather to air-dry naturally away from any source of heat. Apply a little leather conditioner when the leather is nearly dry to restore flexibility.
5.When required condition the leather in order to prevent it from drying out and cracking.
