How to care: Smooth Grain Side Leather

Smooth Grain Side Leather has a visible grain that varies in size depending on the type of animal and tanning method. Side leather refers to a hide that has been cut down the middle to create two equal sides. Each side includes part of the belly, neck, and back. We use the leather from the back because of its thickness, minimal stretch, and durability. Our selection of grain leathers requires very little maintenance. We suggest applying a moisturizing cream or conditioner once every 3-4 months, or more frequently in wet, inclement conditions. Surface scratches can be treated with colored polish. Care Steps 1) Remove surface dirt with a clean brush or cloth. Clean with our Leather Castile Soap if needed. If using Castile Soap, allow leather to dry before step 2. 2) Apply our Shoe Cream or our Leather Conditioner evenly with a clean cloth or shoe brush and allow it to dry. 3) Buff with our Horsehair Shine Brush. 4) Store with our Cedar Shoe Trees to absorb excess moisture and to maintain shape.
