Well-cared Leather will Serve You for Decades
When you rely on your leather gear to endure the harshest conditions, it deserves the same dedication and toughness you bring to the field. Whether it’s your boots, gloves, saddle, or that trusty belt, leather isn’t just a workhorse material—it’s a companion shaped by time and nature. Like anything that matters, it requires care. For centuries, beeswax has been used to nurture leather, offering natural protection. You already know the saying—what worked back then still works now, and for good reason.
Why to Use Beeswax?
- Waterproofing - Beeswax creates a barrier that repels water, keeping your leather dry and preventing it from becoming brittle.
- Protection - Beeswax shields leather from dirt, grime, and whatever the elements throw its way.
- Preservation - Beeswax conditions and nourishes leather, keeping it supple and ensuring it lasts for years.
When to Use Beeswax?
- When Dry - Dry leather becomes fragile and prone to cracking. Rubbing in a bit of beeswax with circular motions restores its shine and strength.
- When Wet - Moisture from rain or spills can harm leather. Wipe off excess water, dry it away from direct sunlight, and apply beeswax to protect against future moisture.
- When Dirty - Dirt is unavoidable in the field. Brush off debris, clean with a damp cloth, let it air dry, and then apply beeswax to create a protective layer.
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.
