Pressing: Use iron at lowest setting. Never use
steam. Place brown paper between the iron and garment.
Constantly move iron to avoid overheating that would discolor
and damage suedes or leathers.
Normal Care:Suedes should
be brushed regularly to keep dust from setting in the
nap and to maintain its velvety look. Avoid using cleaning
fluids or abrasives. Smooth or grain leather should
be cleaned using a soft, dampened sponge or cloth.
Storage: When storing
your leather and suede garments, do so in either a linen
cover, unsealed so the garments can "breathe," or cover
with a cloth to keep dust free, but do not place in
a plastic bag.
Leathers and their care...
The term LEATHER denotes preserved animal skin-
not the surface finish; it refers to both grain and
suede.
Because of leather's suppleness
and beauty, it lends itself perfectly to the most skilled
styling giving you the ultimate in fashion. Each garment
is made from a number carefully selected without losing
their natural markings. In spite of the skins being
matched carefully, differences in skin character cannot
be avoided. This variation proves that a garment is
made of genuine skins and not of limitations. Slight
marks in your garment are not imperfections, but are
the hallmark of a genuine leather product.
GRAIN LEATHER is finished on
the outside, that is, on the hair of wool side of the
skin. It is "shiny." The shine may vary from bright
to dull.
SUEDE LEATHER is obtained by
several methods:
a. Using the underside of the skin.
b. By splitting off the grain surface of the
skin to reveal a suede surface, which is known as "suede
split." Several layers of suede splits can be obtained
from hides because of their thickness.
c. The grain surface of any leather may be buffed
to reveal a finer suede
nap.
