Well-cared Leather will Serve You for Decades
When you trust your leather gear to see you through the toughest conditions, it deserves the same dedication and toughness you bring to the field. Whether it’s your boots, your gloves, your saddle, or that trusty belt, leather ain’t just a workhorse material—it’s a companion forged by time and nature. And just like anything that means something, it needs care.
Beeswax has been used for centuries to care for leather, providing natural protection. You already know how it goes—what worked then, works now and with good reason.
Why Beeswax
- Waterproofing - Beeswax lays down a barrier that keeps water out, keeping your leather dry and stopping it from turning brittle.
- Protection - Beeswax guards your leather against dirt, grime, and whatever the elements throw at it.
- Preservation - Beeswax not only conditions but also nourishes the leather, keeping it supple and long-lasting.
When to Use Beeswax
- When Dry - Dry leather becomes fragile and prone to cracking. Rubbing in a bit of beeswax in circles will bring back its shine and strength.
- When Wet - Moisture from rain or spills can damage leather. Wipe off the excess water, dry it away from direct sun, and finish with beeswax to guard against future moisture.
- When Dirty - Dirt is inevitable in the field. Brush off debris, clean with a damp cloth, let it air dry, and then use beeswax to form a protective barrier.
Our Maintenance Tips
- Regular Care - Apply beeswax every few months, or more often if your gear faces harsh conditions.
- Spot Treatment - For minor scuffs and scratches, a quick touch-up with beeswax will do the job.
- Storage - Store your leather goods in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to prevent drying and cracking.
