Product Description
Most leather is ruined by care, not by wear. The break-in, the five-minute clean, when to condition and when not to, water and drying, storage, and the sixty-second monthly check that tells normal wear from real damage.

Most leather is ruined by care, not by wear. Heat from a hair dryer, a soak to soften it, a kitchen oil, one coat of conditioner too many. Get the small things right and a good leather case doesn't just last — it gets better with age.
Inside the guide:
- A thirty-second test to tell which kind of leather you actually have
- The break-in, in two or three minutes, and what the first month should look like
- Cleaning in five minutes, and conditioning only when the leather asks for it
- Water and drying, where most leather is lost, plus storage and the off-season
- The sixty-second monthly check, and a clear list of when to stop using an item and get it repaired
- A care schedule you can tick off, a short routine for suede and nubuck, and a glossary
It covers smooth, finished leather: cases, belts, bags, briefcases, straps and boot uppers. About twenty minutes of reading.
Our holsters and cases are hand crafted in the finest calfskin, and the highest quality nylon, and canvas materials. See our leather styles at www.sneakypeteholsters.com/perfect/, or search "leather" at www.sneakypeteholsters.com.
