Leather clothing care

[LittleHornChick]

Quite by accident I obtained my first pair of leather pants from a girlfriend who said she never wore them 'cause she bought them on sale, too small.

So, my question, after reading the tag it says "professional leather care only." Ok, so do dry cleaners do this type of professional cleaning or how exactly would I care for/ clean them and how often?

BTW, I think I LOVE leather; it warms up to body temperature quick and feels like a second skin (no pun intended).

Depends on what kind of leather - suede, for instance.

If it's regualr leather & has no spills/stains requiring professional cleaning, then I'd just by a good leather conditioner & apply it twice a season.

I hope this doesn't hijack, but I have a brown lambskin (I think - I'll edit if different) leather coat I bought a couple of years ago. Well, long story short there is a 1" x 1" scuff on the back right shoulder from a wood floor.

Anyone know a reputable place in Austin for leather repairs?

Who are you kidding, LHC??? We know you are wanting to know how to take care of your leather zipper mask and matching bra, panties, and cat o' nine tails!!!!!

Busted! Actually, matching whip, too

(just kidding)

Whaaa Hoooo! Who knew I could fit into a size 2 pair of pants!

BTW, what is this phenomenon that some women will deliberately by clothing they know they will NEVER fit into? No offense but this girl is clearly a 7 or 8; and I know plenty of women who do this, but a size 2? And this was a pretty pricey purchase, too.

I don't know the brand name or anything, but a leather clothing store like Wilson's (i.e. in Barton Creek Mall if in Austin) will sell you a bottle, plus try and sell you some protectorant spray, for about $8 per bottle.
