Care Instructions:
Wipe down the strap with a non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. If needed, you can lightly dampen the cloth with water. Leather straps are not sweat or water resistant. Soaking them will cause discoloration or other damage. Gently wipe away excess moisture with a dry, non-abrasive cloth and let the strap air dry.
Direct sunlight, high temperatures, and humid conditions will cause discoloration or damage like hardening or cracking over time. Discoloration from wearing the strap is part of the aging of vegetable tanned leather.
To minimize discoloration and damage to these straps, limit exposure to moisture and substances like perfume, insect repellent, body oil or lotion, or dyed materials like denim.
If you find flaking, cracking, or if the surface feels dry or hard, or if the leather has been soaked, you should treat the dry strap with leather balm suitable for vegetable tanned leather. Note that leather shoe cream is not suitable for this purpose.
