Ricko Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I would say saddle soap for the leather and warm water and detergent for the canvas. Scrub the canvas then rinse well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTS Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Any good leather cleaner will I do. Gliptone leather cleaner is good and fairly cheap on auction sites. Rub it in and wipe it off. Job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novice cushie shooter Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Its quite mucky and got blood stains so a wee clean wouldnt go amiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolk dumpling Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Had mine for decades now (+ matching cartridge bag) and never washed despite v v mucky appearance. Like it as it is but SWMBO keeps threatening to stick in w/machine. Hangs on the back of lobby door where terriers and wife's spoilt lab lives so adds to overall ambience of that room. Shooting coats etc also there and would like a welly rack too but she thinks stink level would be too great. My favourite part of our old house.

smig4373 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Its quite mucky and got blood stains so a wee clean wouldnt go amiss. Must use cold water for blood stains..warm water will set it, and you'all never get it out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpowder Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I've had one of these for a dozen or more years, I never bother with cleaning the canvas but at the end of each shooting season I wipe clean the leather parts and in the warm and dry treat them witrh good old fashioned dubbin. In the past a number of padded , zippered gun slips have passed through my hands and lasted but a few years. On the other hand the buckle fastened Brady carried muzzle down is about as secure and convenient a method you can have for carying a gun in the field.

Penelope Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Best there is IMO, and I have the matching cartridge and game bags. On my second slip in 30 years, the first lasted about 12 of those.

tonker Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I second that Blackpowder, I have one for each of my shotties (not all Brady's) some are Lightwoods but still well made leather and canvas. They seem to last a lifetime, maybe not the same padding as a modern slip but in the back of the motor no problem. I'm often out with three different guns during a day night session. I must say though I've never cleaned mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Ko-Cho-Line for the leather parts. Saddle soap is just a soap...the clue is in the name! Never use neatsfoot oil The canvas is best cleaned with a stiff bristled nail brush, or a tooth brush if your mother in law is visiting & leaves hers unattended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudpatten Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 With a name like Saddler I`d better listen, pray tell, why should I not use Neatsfoot Oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
