Default Fall is in the Air .. Get out the Leather ..

With Fall in the air it is time to pull out the leather coats,chaps and gloves. To help your leather products last and help keep you warm and dry here are a few tips.
If you have dirt and grease on your leather goods clean it first with some saddle soap,if it is not that bad then just a damp cloth.
Once everything is dry grab a leather conditioning product that you like. Here at the shop we use Skidmores ,Aussie, and Doc Baileys .We do not sell or work for these companies , this is what we use in our shop. Doc Baileys is very good for putting the Black back into your leather.
Coats ,saddlebags, and our Crotch Coolers will all last and look much better for years to come if you spend just a little time to keep them conditioned ..Be Safe ..

I personally like Lexol Leather Conditioner. I agree, get something on that leather...as far as cleaner, any mild neutral PH soap/cleaner even a conditioning soap for the skin will work for cleaning. YD

you will definitely want to work your preferred treatment by hand. Take your time, looks like there's a few curved surfaces to work around!!
