Caring for Leather Shooting Accessories
Leather that is cared for improves with age. Most of the work is simple and takes minutes.
Dry it slowly. After a wet day, empty the bag and let it dry at room temperature. Direct heat, such as a radiator, can dry out and crack leather.
Clean it gently. Brush off mud once dry, then wipe with a slightly damp cloth.
Feed it occasionally. A little suitable leather conditioner keeps it supple. Test on a hidden area first, as some products darken the colour.
Store it well. Keep leather somewhere dry and airy. Never store a gun in a slip for long periods, as trapped moisture can cause rust. Sharing these tips with customers is an easy way for a retailer to add value.
