Title: Care and feeding of your leathers
Post by: spyderchick on December 03, 2002, 10:48:25 AM
A few brief points here

This is the best time of year for everyone to check over their leathers

* get your leathers cleaned. (call your local dry cleaner to ask if they do this, make sure you tell them what the leathers are used for.) If you have a zip out liner, you can throw that in the washer then dry on the line. If you put them in the dryer, pull  them out of the dryer before they get "crispy"

* have your leathers repaired. Even if you are getting new ones, it makes the old set more saleable or available to you or your buds as back-up leathers when it rains or you crash.


* if you plan to buy new leathers, now is a good time to get killer deals on last year's stuff. Look for quality construction and adequate armour.

* finally, if you need lettering and logos, or even repairs,now is the best time to take care of it. I get quite busy from the last minute people. You can contact me at 414.327.0967 or spyder@wi.rr.com for info and pricing.
