1. Storage:

• Hang on a wide wooden or padded hanger to preserve shape.
  

• Keep in a cool, dry place — away from direct sunlight or humidity.
  

• Store in a breathable garment bag (never plastic).
  

2. Cleaning:

• Wipe surface with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth.
  

• For buildup or minor dirt, use saddle soap sparingly and wipe off with a clean damp cloth.
  

• Avoid soaking patches — clean around them gently.
  
  

3. Conditioning (Every 3–6 Months):

• Use a neutral, non-darkening leather conditioner like Bick 4 or Chamberlain’s Leather Milk.
  

• Apply with soft cloth in circular motion, focusing on high-stress areas (elbows, shoulders).
  

  Avoid conditioner on embroidered or woven patches — use precision.

4. Patches & Stitch Areas:

• Avoid excess moisture near stitching to prevent weakening threads.

• If patches start to lift, take to a professional for reinforcement — don’t DIY glue.
  
  

5. Rain & Weather:

• If wet, air dry naturally on hanger (never heat or blow dry).

• Once dry, recondition to maintain suppleness.
  
  

6. Long-Term Preservation:

• Rotate wear if it’s part of a collection.
  

• Avoid backpacks rubbing on shoulders — it can wear the grain unevenly.
