LEATHER CARE
To take care of leather garments, you should follow these steps:
-
Clean regularly. Leather is a natural material that will naturally develop a patina over time, but it's important to clean it regularly to remove dirt, dust, and oils. You can use a soft cloth and a mild soap or leather cleaner to clean your garments.
-
Condition regularly. Leather needs to be conditioned regularly to keep it hydrated and supple. You can use a leather conditioner that is specifically designed for garments. Be sure to follow the instructions on the product label.
-
Store properly. When you're not wearing your leather gear, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. You can use a padded hanger to help keep the garment's shape.
Here are some additional tips for caring for leather garments:
-
Avoid getting your leather gear wet. If your garment does get wet, dry it off immediately with a soft cloth. Do not put your leather gear in the dryer.

Be careful with sharp objects. Leather can be easily scratched, so be careful when wearing your gear around sharp objects.

If you get a stain on your leather garment, don't try to remove it yourself. Take the garment to a professional leather cleaner.
