New Model Corcoran Snap Zippers.
These were practically untouched as it was, and required very little, but the showcase for them was too pretty not to share after the light Neutrogena, Saphir, and Huberds go over.
Happy Shining!
I’m cleaning my everyday wear leather jacket for the first time and am struggling with a couple things:
- The most worn and grimy area around the collar is pilling as I scrub it. How do I avoid this while also getting the grime off? I’m trying warmer water but even just wiping it with a cloth is taking off material. Is there something I can do to minimize this? Is there something I can do after it’s clean to smooth out the scaliness? It’s not peeling like it’s bonded, just pilling little bits.
- It’s been a while since I put hubbards on it (about a year) so some of the leather is really taking on water as I saddle soap and wipe it with a damp cloth. I’m guessing the thing to do about this is to just air dry it quite slowly. Is there anything I should do to avoid mildew while it dries?
- Should I use cream polish? Wax polish? Just leather oil or conditioner? Last time I used Hubbards for waterproofing and it left a tacky feeling. Unsure if I just over-conditioned it and that caused it? It felt okay about a month after.
I know I abuse this jacket. I would like to take care of it I’m just not quite sure how.
