Leathers After 4 Years

Discussion in 'Clothing, Gadgets & Equipment' started by Stef, Mar 10, 2017.

  1. Hi everyone! After 4 years I decided to go back to a motorbike, I was missing it too much. I also decided to take my "old" leathers out. It's a Berik suit and an Arlen Ness jacket.
    They've been stored properly, but before wearing something that's been stored for 4 years, I'd like to make sure it's properly clean (and that the leathers are in good condition).

    I would like to know: what do you suggest to clean/disinfect/restore them? Any products/procedures? I'm also happy to send them to a cleaning service, if the price is reasonable ;)

    Thank you so much everyone!
    Ride safe
     
  2. Seen at shows and on sbs you can buy care/cleaning kits for leathers

    To be honest I use car leather seat cleaner and nourisher lol
     
  3. Haha! Thanks for the advice. Have you ever tried sending them to a dry cleaning service? Does it work?
    Thanks

     
  4. I use Renapur leather balsam.
     
  5. I use a Bosch 1200 on a fast spin, then sling them over a chair in front of an open fire ;)

    Is the chap I use for fettling my leathers, and I usually by a "spring clean" on the way through. He may not be taking on business at the moment, but there's a section on cleaning on the "About leather" page.

  8. You're lucky to be able to get into your leathers after 4 years - I can't after 4 winter months :(

  9. Dr leather wipes are good. They are just like baby wipes but designed for leather car seats. Work wonders. They are quick and easy for a wipe down after a ride.
     
  10. If you want to condition them then neatsfoot oil as you want to get them supple.
    Once done keep on top with renapur which will add a small amount of water repellency.

    Gold Label Neatsfoot Oil
