Additional Care Tips

  • Condition with leather cream or balm every 3-6 months to prevent drying and cracking
  • Wipe spills immediately with a dry cloth — avoid water saturation which warps and stiffens leather
  • Never machine wash or dry — professional leather cleaning only for deep stains
  • Store on wide padded hangers in a breathable garment bag; avoid plastic which traps moisture
  • Keep away from direct heat sources and prolonged sunlight which cause fading and brittleness
  • Allow wet leather to air dry naturally at room temperature — never use a hair dryer or heater
