My package is late. What should I do?

Leather Care and Product Information

Will my product look exactly like the website photos?

Leather is a natural product, so variations in color and finish can and will occur. All of our work is completed by hand rather than mass-produced, so minor differences between product photos and the item you receive are normal.

We strive for perfection and will not send out an item that does not meet our standards.

How should I care for my leather product?

Leather products require regular care and upkeep to achieve their full service life. We recommend cleaning the leather with saddle soap and conditioning it with our leather balm.

How should painted and Hi-Def products be handled?

Painted and Hi-Def customization must be handled appropriately. Excessive bending, rubbing, scraping, or abrasion can crack or damage the customization and may also damage the leather itself.

Is Hi-Def customization stamped and painted?

No. Hi-Def customization is not stamped and painted. The product descriptions and examples identify which customization method is used.

Our hi-def process is a direct-to-leather print process, which bonds the ink to the leather for exceptional durability.

How should a radio strap be worn?

Radio straps are intended to be worn inside your jacket at a fire scene or accident scene.

Wearing the strap inside the jacket helps protect the microphone cord from heat and sharp objects and helps prevent it from becoming an entanglement hazard. It also helps protect Hi-Def customization from damage.
