Antique Leather Dressing
The antique leather dressing shows its conditioning potential on leather that’s older than the 1970’s. 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. This specially formulated blend of waxes includes beeswax and USP Grade Petroleum products. It contains NO animal fat or tallow, mink oil, lanolin, or neatsfoot oil. Antique Leather Dressing may darken leather a shade but not significantly. Not recommended for Suede or NuBuck leather.

* Please make sure the item is oil tanned and not coated leather. This dressing will not penetrate coated leather.
Step 1: Apply the Dressing
- Use a clean, lint free cloth or your fingers to apply the dressing in light coats.
- Ensure an even application over the leather surface.
Step 2: Allow Absorption Time
- Let the dressing absorb for 12 to 24 hours.
- The number of applications varies based on the original condition of leather. When completely absorbed, reapply.
- Repeat until a thin layer of dressing remains on the leather surface. Due to the density of the dressing, leather cannot over-absorb the conditioner.
- Each treatment helps the leather become stronger, softer, and more flexible.
Step 3: Remove Excess and Buff
- Use a clean, dry, soft cloth to remove any excess dressing.
- Gently buff the surface to create a soft sheen.
- This buffing action melts the blend of waxes into the topmost fibers to repel water and dust.
- Thoroughly remove all extra dressing, taking special note of any seams or crevices.
Step 4: Maintain Regularly
- Perform follow-up treatments two to four times per year, or as needed, to maintain protection.
