Care instructions

Never forget that leather is a living natural material.

The constant search for new skins is one of our priorities and our rigorous selection is based on 3 essential elements: innovation, quality and comfort.
Thus, around twenty tanning operations were necessary to give this leather all its current qualities of resistance, authenticity and natural beauty.
The patina it will acquire over time is completely normal and its natural wrinkles or marks, far from being imperfections, attest to its authenticity.
Scars, variations in color, folds..., the small defects that will be added over the course of its life will only accentuate the unique and sensual character of your Redskins leather
For some qualities, a "Vintage", "Used" or "Patina" spirit has been deliberately accentuated. However, to maintain its appearance and flexibility for a long time, it requires regular care and certain attention.

The little attentions of every day

  • Always make sure to hang your leather on a hanger to keep its shape.
  • Always have both pieces of a set cleaned at the same time to avoid possible color differences.
  • Store your leather garment in a dry, ventilated place.
  • Avoid exposing your leather to rain and if it has, let it dry on a hanger, away from any heat source.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun (be careful of the back shelf of your car).
  • Do not cover your leather with a plastic cover which would prevent it from breathing (prefer cotton).
  • The color of certain leather bleeds, be careful of contact with light-colored car or living room upholstery.
  • If your garment is soiled or stained, take it to a specialist.

Suede Leather / Coated Leather or Nubuck Leather Care

  • Dust using a clean, soft brush or a suede eraser.
  • For important tasks, entrust your garment to a specialist.
  • Treat with suede spray and waterproof with a special fluoride spray.

Redskins Tip : For a deeper mark, use a tape roller.

Pigmented Leather Care / Oily Leather

  • Simply use a slightly damp cloth and wipe gently to dust.
  • Use a waterproofing spray to stabilize possible color bleeding.
  • Never grease.
  • For small greasy stains: sprinkle with Terre de Sommières or talcum powder, leave for a few hours, then brush gently. Repeat if necessary.

Redskins Tip : Keep a small sachet of Terre de Sommières or talcum powder in an inside pocket in case of an incident at a restaurant, for example.

Nappa Leather Care (smooth and supple appearance)

  • Clean with a damp cloth.
  • Spray and maintain with "Special Nappa" products.
  • Cleaning by a specialist.

IN ALL CASES

- Never scratch the surface of the leather with an abrasive object (sponge, knife blade or fingernail) except for suede leathers using a suitable eraser.

- All machine or hand washing as well as direct steam ironing should be excluded.


If you're unsure about the type of leather you need to treat, don't hesitate to contact your dealer or a specialist. The main maintenance products you'll find in stores are generally mild soaps, nourishing and renovating lotions, and waterproofing sprays. We recommend the Redskins maintenance range, available online and in our stores.

Always test a product on a hidden part of the garment.
