How Should I Take Care Of My Langlitz Leathers?
Common sense, and occasional attention is the best way to treat your “Langlitz”! Leather is similar to your skin, in that you should care for your leathers as you care for your body. Harsh chemicals and heat are detrimental to leather. Our leathers don’t mind water, but they do take some time to dry out. Just don’t put them in a hot dryer, or you will regret it! Also, they don’t like to be left wet in a dark garage or basement…..unless you want them to look white, fuzzy, and smell of mildew! After riding in the rain, let them dry out at normal room temperatures before hanging them up. Wax the zippers occasionally to keep them working smoothly. Simply carry a chunk of candle or paraffin about the size of your thumb in one of your pockets and run it up and down the teeth occasionally. And use a good quality (such as Langlitz Leather Dressing) leather treatment several times per year to keep the leather supple and water resistant. When the bugs get too thick, wipe them with a damp cloth
