How do I look after my leather? what is Heritage Leathercare?

It has been a glorious day and I managed to get around to mowing my back lawn.My grandsons and the family dog have gone back to their home. Peace reigns at my home but we will miss the boys.
The Australian cricket team decided to give the England team a lesson on how to play cricket.

I have recently been discussing Heritage Woodcare so today I am going to have a look at Heritage Leathercare.

Leather is a natural material, developed through the treatment of animal (mainly cattle) hide (skin). This treatment, known as tanning, changes the hide into a strong, long lasting,material with many uses - footwear, clothing, seating, bags etc. Depending on the tanning process and which part of the hide is used, will determine what type of leather is produced - suede, nubuck etc. I am going to discuss the leather commonly used and usually referred to just as leather. Dying or "painting" on a colour obviously produces leather of different colours.
To keep leather in good condition, supple and of a strong colour requires regular cleaning and feeding especially if it is in high temperatures or strong sunlight.

Heritage Leathercare is a traditional 19th century leather balsam containing many original old fashioned ingredients ( including beeswax), well known in the trade for revitalising and protecting leather (including the stitching). Various craftspeople and many professionals - vintage car enthusiasts, show jumpers,antique book restorers, butlers employed in stately homes,etc. - testify to its tried and tested formula.
The results obtained with Heritage Leathercare are instantanious yet long lasting, leaving old tired leather revalised and giving newer leather products a shine and protection unsurpassed by many modern polishes.
Heritage Leathercare is generally regarded as one of the most ecomical leather care products on the market.

Tomorrow I will tell you how to use it and what you can (and cannot) use it on.
