Recommended Home Care For Your Leather Garments:

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.
