There is nothing more exotic and luxurious than your treasured leather and
suede garments.  Its comfort, unique look & feel make leather your favorite
things to wear.

Leather adjusts to your body temperature, and because it is a "skin", it pores
absorb and release approximately 30% of its weight in moisture. This lost
moisture needs to be replenished or your leather will eventually dry out & show
crackings. Leather has natural oils, these oils can be removed in cleaning, the
final part of the cleaning process replaces the lost oils, so that the garment
returns to its original state.  If you need to:

Leather is the skin of the animal and
is referred to as hide before
processing. .  The skins are washed
in water, tanned and stretched before
being pared and animal, for this
reason color variation will occur. All
garments have multiple panels
making up the item. Each panel in a
leather garment has come from a
different part of different animal.
Because of that, it is natural that there
will be some slight texture and color
variation.
Sun Fading is one of the most
common problem on leather jacket.  
We can enhance these color loss and
cover up all the scuff, scratches
around the zipper area, pockets, and
sleeves.

Some shrinkage will likely occur in
your garment over time as the skins
relax. As you wear a leather garment it
tends to conform comfortably to your
body. After cleaning, the garment may
feel a little snug but after wearing this
feeling will dissipate.

Common Problems and Solutions with Leather Garments:
Stains in Leather

    Body oils, perspiration, grease, spills on leather can be cleaned. A badly stained leather garment can be saved by
    Cleaning AND Recoloring.

    Most manufacturers recommend that leather garments be cleaned by professional leather cleaning methods. This
    ensures that the stain will be treated properly, and that the suppleness, color and finish of the garment are
    maintained or restored.

Leather Wrinkles
    Skins taken from the loose neck or belly portions of the animal are naturally wrinkled. During manufacturing the
    skins are stretched for a smooth appearance. As the skins relax with age and cleaning, the wrinkles may
    reappear.  If you have serious wrinkles, most likely, your leather has experienced some contact with water and
    shrink!  Since leather is stretched to make new garments, these wrinkles is best pressed out by a professional.
    Drop the wrinkled garments at our cleaners: 5837 Camden Ave, San Jose, CA 95124 and request PRESS
    ONLY or CLEAN & PRESS

Ink on Leather
    Ball point pen ink can not be removed from painted finishes without removing the surface paint as well.  The
    solution is: to remove the ink marks, then redye or recolor the affected area after ink removal.

Color Loss
    Dyes can oxidize from exposure to UV light and gases in the atmosphere. This is a slow progressive condition that
    develops with age. It may become more noticeable after cleaning.  If Dye has been lost significantly or you
    experience uneven, blotchy light/dark color, we can reDye your leather jacket for a newer, fresh look.

Adhesive Residue
    You casually slap an adhesive-backed name badge on your leather coat or jacket. When trying to remove it, that
    area of my coat lost its finish.  Sound familiar?!This is a problem that we see frequently.  Send the garment to us
    and we will remove the adhesive and lightly refinish the blemished area.

    Some suede has seams that are glued together, lapels, pocket flaps etc.  This glue can migrate through suede
    and show as dark marks on the surface of the suede. It is very hard to remove!  

Thin Skin
    Some skins are extremely thin due to overstreching in the tanning process (to yield more squarefootage of the
    skin).  These skins will wear exceptionally fast and cleaning will further aggravate the damage of thin skins. Rips,
    tears, troubled wrinkles can occur, these are almost impossible to repair because the leather is overstreched too
    thin.

    When cleaning . moisture is added to leather, it can distort its shape and/or shrink. This is especially true when
    lesser quality leathers are used in manufacturing in order to meet acceptable pricing in the marketplace.

Imperfections of Leather like Scars & Tissues
    The manufacturer use artificial "fillers" to cover up imperfections in the skins, like scars & vein marks. Hides are
    then batch dyed before being made up into a garment ensuring uniformity of color on the finished garments .These
    imperfections may become more apparent over time or after cleaning as the filer compound gets thinner or even
    washed away.  We can touch up the affected areas with matching color but there's not much to do hide these
    original scars and tissues.  These are ... natural. Remember "leather is a ... SKIN", veins, marks, scars is
    somewhat expected.
