Some tips for purchasing and caring for your leather, suede and fur garments:

These types of garments are a major investment and selection is important. It is important to choose carefully and care for your garments wisely.

Selecting a leather garment:

• Buy from a reputable store.
• Look for careful matching of colours and textures between portions of the garment. Suede will never be completely uniform, but that is part of its desirability.
• Avoid a snug fit. Hides are stretched during tanning and some relaxation shrinkage can be expected in use and cleaning.
• Read and keep any accompanying garment care information.
• Choose light and pastel colours. They are less likely to fade in cleaning than deep colours.

Proper garment care begins at home:

The following care tips apply to both suede and smooth leathers:

• Wear a scarf to protect the collar area from perspiration and body oils.
• If the garment gets wet, air dry it away from heat. Store leather garments in a cool, ventilated area. Leather is subject to drying out if exposed to dry heat and to mildew if stored in a hot, humid environment.
• Do not store leather in a plastic bag.
• If staining occurs, take the garment to a professional leather and suede dry cleaner such as KC Dry Cleaning as soon as possible. Please do not try to remove spots at home.
