Pittards - World class manufacturing - About leather

Remove excess mud and dry naturally.
Suede and nubuck should have the nap restored with a soft brush if necessary.
Full grain leathers can be polished with a little neutral shoe cream.
Because WR100 is a permanent treatment, the water resistant qualities do not need further enhancing with waxes and creams. However, customers wishing to treat stitching or eyelets should use Nik Wax or Grangers G-Wax.

Gloves:

Pittards Gloving leathers are hand washable for easy care. For best results-

Produce a good lather in lukewarm water using mild detergent or soapflakes.
Immerse the gloves and wash gently on your hands.
Remove gloves and rinse thoroughly in clean water.
Squeeze out all excess water from the fingers downwards and pull gently into shape.
Hang to dry away from direct sunlight or heat.

For best results wash gloves before they become too soiled!

Gloves - Machine wash:

Wash the glove on the low temperature (up to 30°C) gentle cycle of a domestic washing machine (only where recommended).

Cotton or synthetic washing materials and those containing bleach or Sodium Perborate are not suitable.
