WATER-PROOFING SUEDE AND LEATHER

Leather and Suede jackets are the perfect weight for fall. However, fall can be a wet season in most parts of the country and water and leather do not mix. Leather that has been dampened or exposed to excessive amounts of moisture loses its natural oils, leaving you with stained, dry, stiff material.

Waterproofing involves applying a surface coat to leather that will help to preserve its quality, workmanship and value. When you waterproof something, you're providing a barrier that water cannot penetrate. You can bring your leather and suede garments to your neighborhood Lapels Dry Cleaner for waterproofing or you can do it at home.
