Leather Gun Slip - restoration

Recommended Posts

Hi all, 

I have a pretty old leather Gun Slip that has been sat in a cupboard for many years as it’s in pretty poor condition overall, I then had a look at it and it’s gone mouldy from a water leak! 

 

Now I feel a bit guilty and as a little winter project I am going to try and restore it as best I can. 

The problem is that I have no idea where to start! Presumably I will need to ‘clean’ the leather and then condition/nourish it and then a final wax? 

Any advice/pointers will be gratefully received.

 

TIA

I would not power wash it .get a mould remover in a spray .if you get it to wet it will take ages to dry and probably 

crack .get some leather feed the type you use on leather jackets / sofas

i pointed this out to her good self last night , her professional opinion was uuurrrggghhh lol .

she said , does it have a zip ? , and is it ok ?, the zip would be your biggest problem .

she also said , the washing machine is a good option (yes you can wash leather if youre careful).

itll be a really great looking bag once its cleaned up a bit.
