As the main purpose of these accessories is to provide increased protection against the weather and potential impacts, most of them are made of sturdy, high-quality real leather. Although waterproof, we don’t recommend washing your leather chaps in the washing machine or cleaning them with regular detergents.
Leather chaps require proper and special care, similar to any other garment made of leather, including skirts, coats, and motorcycle jackets. This means that they should be kept away from direct sunlight whenever you’re not using them to prevent discoloration. You should clean them using special leather care products that don’t contain harsh chemicals that might harm or burn the leather.
We also recommend a leather softener or moisturizer to make your chaps more flexible, soft, and comfortable when wearing. You can purchase these products directly from the manufacturer of your chaps or any other leather or motorcycle shop.
