Smelly leathers

[MiniMac]

Hello,

I've just been out for a bimble to Hein Gericke and around and about, but as it is cracking the flags, I was soaked in sweat.


I'm wearing a T shirt, and my 2 piece leathers. I've got my jacket on the back of a chair to air, and my keks the same, but aren't they going to end up honking?

There is a sort of liner in the jacket, but is a mesh, with 3mm holes in it. Similar for keks.

Help

Well me leather trousers get well used, are coming up on 4 years old and dont niff to bad, now my boots, thats another matter completley!

I would recommend a shower or bath with oodles of soap at least once a year but, as for the leathers...

I took a risk recently, and popped my leathers into Morrisons. £30 for the trousers, and boy was I surprised. I've got some new leathers! I did ask them if they were definately mine.

Well worth the money, clean, shiney and back to their original black.

Is that just a dry cleaners at the Morrisons you mean? I might do that - 2 years now for my leathers and not a single clean...

Any idea if it's better than the leather cleaner, etc, you can get yourself?

i was going to ask a similar question to this except it's with regards to the removable mesh lining inside the leathers. It acts as a carrier for the back & shoulder armour - if i take it out to cool down there'll be no armour any ideas? it's a Hein Gericke PSX 2 piece suit

for me a damp rag and then renapur has got them up to a brilliant shine, surprised myself the toerh day after forgetting how new they looked when i first cleaned em up (this was there second clean since i owned them which is about a year)

I've never washed any of my leathers and never had an issue. But with my new leathers I wear an undersuit (got thrown in free with the suit) and I have to say it makes the world of difference. Warmer in winter, cooler and way more comfortable in summer and when sweaty you don't have to fight your leathers to get them off. Oh and they can be washed weekly (daily if really needed they dry in about 10 mins)
