The Leather Care Clinic

Dry edges, thirsty panels and tired stitching all have cures. This is our workshop's complete care routine: brushing, conditioning, edge dressing and storage, in that order, twice a year.

You will learn which conditioner suits vegetable-tanned leather, why silicone sprays are banned from our bench, and how to steam out a dented corner without scorching the grain. We also cover the repairs worth paying for — restitching, relining and hardware swaps — and the ones better left alone.

Bring any Saddle and Sole piece to our clinic days and we will condition it free while you watch.
