PROTECTING NUBUCK

LEATHER PROTECTORS

These are odorless and colorless liquids that can be sprayed directly onto your jackets. These protectors typically save the jacket from water, oil, dirt and any other such material that can leave stains on your jacket.


LEATHER CONDITIONER

Leather conditioners are used to keep leather from drying out or cracking. It is important to check which leather conditioner is suitable for the type of leather used in your jacket specially for nubuck or suede leather.

Ingredients like mink oil, neatsfoot oil and other natural animal oils are ideal conditioners but they tend to darken the leather.

Never use any products that contain mineral oil or petroleum as it will damage your jacket.

Please be advised that there are different types of leather conditioners available for different types of leather. Get one that suits the type your jacket is made with.
