Expert Tips: To keep the leather supple apply a light coat of mink oil or natural leather conditioner this will preserve its flexibility and deepen its rich patina. The metal fittings may have a bit of oxidation from years of dormancy. A soft cloth and a touch of metal polish or fine steel wool will restore their original luster while maintaining their vintage character. For an extra layer of protection apply a canvas wax treatment to repel moisture and extend the life of the fabric.
