Caring for Your Leather
Keep leather out of direct heat/sunlight for prolonged periods of time so it doesn’t dry out, crack or fade unevenly. Moisturize it every six months.
Leather has pores so cannot be fully waterproofed but you can make it water resistant with Protect & care weatherproof spray, which leaves a fine protective film on the surface. Re-spray every few months and try to avoid heavy rain as big raindrops can make splotches that may not fade entirely.
Treating It Well
If your leather gets wet, pat dry with paper towels, pack loosely with paper and let it air dry (do not apply more heat).
If the leather becomes dry, use leather balsam to moisturize it.
If you’re bothered by the appearance of scratches, we recommend horse fat.
Many of our products are made with vegetable-tanned leather. Vegetable-tanned leather changes with time, just like everything else in nature. As leather ages the finish may flatten out and marks may appear as the unique patina develops. This is the sign of well-loved leather that is taking on a character of its own.
