Cleaning and Care Guides

Leather is a natural product that will only get better with time. Learning how to clean and store your bag properly helps increase their lifespan. 

Please follow these simple care tips for your leather accessories.

Cleaning

Before cleaning your leather accessory, there are a few things you need to consider. Not all leather is the same and you shouldn't treat certain types of stains. Some stains can look worse after you have applied a product on it. Lastly, always perform a blot test before applying anything to the entire bag. If in doubt, check with a local cleaning professional to see if they're able to clean your bag.

Conditioning

You can use a leather conditioner to help protect the leather after the accessory has been cleaned. We recommend using a conditioner without any dye in it. Don't forget to do a blot test before applying the conditioner to the entire bag.

Zipper Care

All of our apparel and accessories use top of the line zippers. Sometimes zippers can get dirty and need a little attention. Please follow these simple steps to help clean and lubricate the zipper.

1. First inspect the zipper for anything that might be blocking it.
2. Using warm water and a cloth, wipe the zipper to remove any substance that may be causing the zipper to get stuck.
3. If stiffness still occurs, try lubricating the zipper with vaseline, chapstick or a bar of soap. 
4. Apply a small amount to the zipper and then zip the zipper back and forth to help lubricate it. 

Storage

Enjoy your leather accessory for years to come by properly storing it when you're not using it. Please follow these tips to properly store your leather accessory.

Don't hang it
Try to not hang your accessory when you're not using it. Instead stand the accessory upright on a shelf.

Keep it out of direct sunlight
Direct sunlight can cause the leather and fabrics to fade or discolor. Store the accessory somewhere without direct sunlight and low humidity to avoid mold.

Maintaining shape
Stuff your accessories with towels or sweaters to help the accessory maintain it's shape when you're not using it.

Cleaning

Before cleaning your item, there are a few things you need to consider. Not all leather is the same and you shouldn't treat certain types of stains. Some stains can look worse after you have applied a product on it. Lastly, always perform a blot test before applying anything to the entire bag. If in doubt, check with a local cleaning professional to see if they're able to clean your bag.

• If a spill gets on your cowhide bag, try to quickly soak up the products to avoid letting it sit into the hair and fibers. Use a damp cloth with just water, or a mild soap, to remove the rest of the stain as best you can. Rub the hide with the lay of the hair, not against. Going against the lay of the natural hairs may cause more damage than the spill and cause hairs to fall out.
• Vacuuming may be necessary when too much dust and dirt has built up on a section of cowhide. You can use a small, bristled tip vacuum attachment to get the dirt off your bag before you wipe or brush out the hair. This will prevent excess dirt from staying on the bag when water is used to clean.

Conditioning

You can use a leather conditioner to help protect the leather after the bag has been cleaned. We recommend using a conditioner without any dye in it. Don't forget to do a blot test before applying the conditioner to the entire bag.

Natural Aging

Natural shedding and wear from the hair on hide is expected. Your cowhide sections of your bag will age different than the leather sections. To keep your hair on hide sections looking their best, try to avoid brushing them against rough surfaces (such as brick or rock walls, concrete, etc) and from crushing the side of the bag with hair on it. Do not fold or crease the bag, unnaturally.

Always dust and clean cowhide with the lay of the hair, not against. Going against will cause the hair to stick up in unnatural ways and even fall out.

Hair on Hide Variety

Our bags and accessories are made of 100% genuine cowhide. We cannot guarantee patterns, colors and lengths of hair on each piece be the same as what is photographed. Each piece is unique to itself because every hide used to craft the piece will be different. Specific color requests cannot be accommodated.

We know that your apparel is bound to face the grime and grit of everyday life. That’s why we test every piece of apparel on the ranch prior to being put into production.

Cleaning

Please note, not all types of leather are the same. Please refer to your care label inside the jacket for product specific care instructions. To learn more about our care labels, please read our Label and Icons Care Guide.

You should never immerse a leather jacket in water or place the jacket in a washing machine. Regular wiping with a damp cloth will help prevent a build-up of dirt and grease. Use a damp cloth to blot the leather instead of rubbing it. Let the jacket dry naturally by hanging it.

Conditioning

Usually the oil from your hands from handling the jacket is enough to keep the jacket protected and conditioned. You can use a leather conditioner to help protect the leather. We recommend using a conditioner without any dye in it. Don't forget to do a blot test before applying the conditioner to the entire jacket.

Storage

Enjoy your leather jacket for years to come by properly storing it when you're not using it. Please follow these tips to properly store your leather jacket.

Hang it correctly
Never leave your jacket folded for a long period of time. Instead, hang your jacket in a well ventilated closet. Try to give your jacket some space and not stuffed in with dozens of other coats.

Keep it out of direct sunlight
Direct sunlight can cause the leather and fabrics to fade or discolor. Store the jacket somewhere without direct sunlight and low humidity to avoid mold.

Avoid heat
Heat can cause the leather to dry out and become brittle. Never lay your jacket on a hot surface like a radiator or heating vent. Do not iron your leather jacket.

Professional care
If there is any doubt, please seek professional care when cleaning your leather jacket. A professional leather cleaner will know the exact process for cleaning your jacket.

If it’s time to clean your jacket or vest, be sure to check out the care label that is sewn into the lining of the item. These labels are specific to each product and designed intentionally to ensure each product is cleaned correctly.

For help in understanding how to clean your item, here are some examples of the symbols you will find on our care labels:

	This symbol indicates normal washing conditions at 30 degrees. The number correlates to the maximum water temperature. A bar below the symbol indicates using a gentle wash cycle.
	This symbol tells you if you can iron the item or not. An ‘X’ through the symbol means do not iron.
	A triangle symbol indicates if bleaching is allowed. An ‘X’ through the symbol means no bleach allowed.
	A circle symbol indicates whether or not the item can be dry cleaned. A plain circle indicates ‘dry clean only’. A circle with a ‘P’ in it indicates the item needs professional care. An ‘X’ through the symbol means item do not dry clean.
	A circle in a box symbol indicates that the item can be tumble dried. One dot inside the circle indicates using a low heat setting while two dots indicate a high heat setting. An ‘X’ through the symbol means do not tumble dry.
	A symbol with a curved line across the top indicates your item should be line dried. The box with 3 lines indicates drip drying.

4. Then drip a clean cotton cloth into the solution and squeeze out any excess water.
5. Next, gently rub the fabric with the cloth to remove the stain. Be careful not to get any leather trim wet.
