Special Notes
• Condition with leather conditioner periodically
• Keep away from direct heat and sunlight
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
