2 Leather related questions
2.1 How to break in my new leather pants?

The care you take at the beginning can make all the difference to how your pants will look and wear for the rest of their lifetime. How long the breaking in period will take depends on how tight they are to start with. The tighter the pants, the longer they will take to break in.

Whilst breaking in, the leather will stretch to your body shape and soften so that it becomes like a second skin. Doing gentle exercise, allowing the leather to warm up, will help in this process. Sudden extreme movements to begin with, (especially squatting, doing the splits or throwing a leg astride a motorbike or something else) could cause the stitching under the crutch to break or worse tear the leather.

From day one, every time you put the pants on, spend some time making sure that the crutch of your pants sit right up where your legs join your body. To help achieve this bend your knees upwards, this increases your thigh size, stretching the leather a bit. As you put your foot down, take a firm grip with both hands of the pants just above the knee and work the leather up a bit further. Repeat this process several times for each leg.

2.2 How to clean my leather pants and other leather products?

Your leather must NEVER be; washed in HOT water, washes with detergent, tumble dried or dry cleaned.

Irreplaceable damage can be caused if you do any of these things. Depending on the level of soiling, they can be washed using cool or cold water (no hotter than 30°C) with a small amount of baby shampoo. Rinse thoroughly, and leave to dry in a cool environment. Do not speed up the drying by placing in front of a heat source.

2.3 Is it safe to do 'watersports' wearing leather clothing?

Uric Acid found in urine ("piss") is very damaging to your leather. It should be washed out as soon as possible after such exposure and certainly should never be left till the next morning.

How to wash? check the answer in the question above.
