How to care for leather clothing depends of the leather caracteristics. The leather industry oftens uses fragile leathers, and we recommend the following products :
At first, if necessary, clean the leather (as you would wash your hands before applying a cream) with the help of Cleaning Regenerating Soap AVEL, after having tested the product cautiously on a hidden part of your article of clothing. To eliminate sebum stains which accumulates on collars and around the wrists, use Stain Remover HUSSARD Spray Leather and Textile.
Afterwards, choose among the following products :
- non fragile rustic leather : Renovator Shoe Polish SAPHIR MEDAILLE D'OR.
If your leather is worn, alternate from time to time with Canadian Polish which contains more waxes.
For a large size article of clothing, choose the Cream Renovator below.
Both of these products are available in different colours to refreshen the colour of your garment.
- smooth leather, box, lamb : Renovator Shoe Polish NAPPA SAPHIR.
- ostrich leather : Delicate Shoe Polish Cream SAPHIR
- Barenia : choose Shoe Polish Gel Cristal.
- crocodile, reptile : choose Shoe Polish REPTAN to care for your leather and Varnish RIFE for adding shine to the varnish.
- braided
Remarks :
- The leathers used for clothing are thinner than those used for shoes and furniture, therefore don't overcharge (apply too much of a product).
- Shine immediately after application because of rapid solvent evaporation.
- Before wearing your article of clothing for the first time, and to proctect it against water, grease and snow stains use Super Invulner Médaille d'Or. Renew the operation whenever necessary and in case of rain. Its neutral (totally invisible) non greasy formula will not harm the leather and lets it breathe.
