Leather Conditioning Guide

Look after your leather and it will look after you.

Cleaning

Once every month or two, give your leather a gentle wipe with a barely damp cloth. This removes any sweat and salts that build up with daily use as these are the most common cause of leather deterioration over time.

Conditioning

Every 12 months, work a small amount of natural leather balm into the surface using your fingertips or a soft cloth. This replenishes the oils in the leather, keeping it supple and preventing it from drying out or cracking.

Storage

When you're not using your piece, hang it vertically or roll it loosely. Avoid folding across buckle holes, as this can cause permanent creasing. Store it in the cotton Contour bag it came in — this lets the leather breathe naturally and protects it from dust without trapping moisture.

A little care goes a long way. Leather that's looked after properly will last decades and only get better with age.

Water & Moisture

Leather and water don’t get along. If your belt gets wet, let it air dry naturally away from heat sources — never force dry it. Occasional splashes (e.g. light rain) are fine, but full-on exposure can cause stiffness, warping, or damage.
