Suede/NuBuck Spray
or
Silicone Protectant
Dry Tanned leather - Suede, NuBuck, and Brushed leathers easily stain. Our Suede Spray is specially formulated to protect this from happening. Treating the leather before use is recommended to provide the best protection.
Suede/NuBlack Spray
This is a water-based waterproofing treatment for NuBuck, Suede, and High Performance Breathable Fabrics. It’s specially formulated to minimize any change in color or texture of the leather or fabric. Footwear remains breathable and highly water-repellant. Waterproof protection prevents discoloration, staining, and water spotting of untreated leather. This specially formulated blend coats leather fibers to prevent water from binding to them. If water can’t stay on the fibers, it can’t enter the leather or leave mineral deposits.
Silicone Protectant
Contains our highest concentration of silicone for maximum weatherproofing. Use on Suede, NuBuck, brushed, and dry tanned leather to repel water, snow, and dew. Can also be used on Cordura, Nylon or Canvas for weatherproof protection. Never use on patent leather or white leather as it may darken or yellow some leather.

Antique Leather Dressing
This dressing shows its conditioning potential on leather that’s older than the 1970s. Note that once leather is cracked there is no way to fix the leather fibers. Cracking and flaking is due to the loss of natural oils over time causing the leather fibers to shorten and stiffen. Oils in the Pecard Antique Leather Dressing return this essential requirement to the leather, allowing the fibers to perk up and prevent further damage.
Pecard Antique Leather Dressing can also be applied to new oil tanned leather to repel harmful dirt and water.

Weatherproof Dressing in Black or Brown
This is a similar formulation to our Classic Leather Dressing but is developed to blend in the abrasions and scrapes on leather goods that occur over time. Cleans and shines all smooth and textured-smooth leather; protects against fingerprints and scuff marks. This product stands out above all others because it tints rather than dyes the leather. With continued use, the tint in the Black and Brown Weatherproof Dressing will blend in and render blemishes unnoticeable. A dye can over-darken the scuffed areas and actually make them stand out. Our dressing will also revive faded black leather back to its rich, vibrant color, imparting a soft sheen. Not recommended for Suede or NuBuck leather (use our NuBuck & Suede Spray instead).

Leather Lotion
Pecard Leather Lotion is a wax-free, water-based formula that cleans, conditions, preserves, and weatherproofs all non-glossy smooth, textured-smooth, and vinyl-coated leathers. This product is ideal for coated leather because it penetrates the surface coating to condition the leather underneath and leaves leathers soft and supple. It is also the product of choice for newer leather items that you want to have superior protection without changing the look or feel. The lotion is best used where a shiny surface is not necessary. Safe for all colors, including white leather. Do not use on Suede or NuBuck (use our NuBuck & Suede Spray instead).

Boot & Shoe Oil
Pecard's Shoe and Boot Oil contains the same ingredients as our Leather Dressing but is formulated to create a liquid instead of a paste. Being a liquid, the absorption time is significantly faster so it is perfect for quick touch-ups on leather that needs to be used again soon. This conditioner will preserve and protect the leather from weather damage while still allowing your leather to breathe. Restores dried out leather to its natural softness and flexibility. This oil darkens lighter color leather, so if this is a concern, please see our Classic Leather Dressing. Not recommended for Suede or NuBuck leather (use our NuBuck & Suede Spray instead).

Leather Dressing
One of our most popular products. A neutral-colored, blended paste that cleans, conditions, preserves, and weatherproofs all smooth oil tanned leather to keep it supple, strong, and beautiful. This specially formulated blend of waxes and USP Grade Petroleum products help repel dirt and water from entering the leather where they cause the greatest damage. The oils in the dressing lubricate and plump up the fibers so that they can move smoothly against each other without binding and abrading. Our products contain NO animal fat or tallow, mink oil, lanolin, or neatsfoot oil. Pecard’s Leather Dressing may darken leather a shade but not significantly. Not recommended for Suede or NuBuck leather (use our NuBuck & Suede Spray instead).
