Antiqued Leather (aka Distressed Leather)- To achieve an antiqued look, the base color is obtained by first applying a lighter color, then going over it with a darker one at varying degrees. An antiqued or distressed finish and texture will likely change slightly when cleaned. Some of the desired aged look can be returned in the refinishing process after cleaning.		Clean my garment now!
Nude Bomber (Nu Buck)- A garment style still very popular today. Aniline dye with a pigmented finish applied to the skins. Top grain leather is buffed to appear as a suede. Stains can be difficult to remove. When finishing is required to disguise stains, the appearance and texture will be altered. Some of the garments in this style come in pastel colors. The blues, greens, some reds and other pastels are more susceptible to oxidation. After cleaning, spray dying may be an option, but color evenness and texture will change.		Clean my garment now!
Pigskin- It has very little nap and varies from skin to skin in color and texture. The fibrous structure of the skin can allow spots and stains to soak deeply. Pigskin does not always respond to cleaning and spotting as well as other leathers. Many of the pigskins use textile pile linings for extra warmth or to achieve that "shearling look".

Shearling- Tanned and dressed sheep suede, bearing wool (or fur) made from the pelts. A slightly harder feel of the skin is common after cleaning. Hand cleaning is often used if minimal stains or soil are present.		Clean my garment now!

Multi-Color Fashions- Virtually all major sports teams and major designers are putting together combinations of leather in different colors. There is always the possibility that colors will bleed into each other in the cleaning process. The utmost care is taken to avoid this. Finishing techniques vary and sometimes hand-painting is required, at additional cost.		Clean my garment now!
Athletic Jacket- Almost always a combination of wool body and leather sleeves. At times reconstituted wool is used and does not hold up well during the cleaning process. Sometimes, letters need to be removed and sewn back after cleaning to prevent dye transfer. After cleaning, we will refinish the sleeves to return as much of the original color as possible. Jackets with embroidery can have problems with dye transfer depending on the thread used.		Clean my garment now!
Matching Two-Piece Outfit- ALWAYS CLEAN TWO-PIECE OUTFITS AT THE SAME TIME! Manufacturers seldom use leather from the same dye lot. Skins may have even come from different tanners in different countries. If the outfit has different skin types, i.e. pigskin skirt or cowhide, they are not likely to match after cleaning.

Silk Suede- A velvet-like nap finish produced on leather by abrasive action. Often used for fine shirts, pants, skirts, etc. rather then outwear. It is soft and the skins can be thin. The fibrous structure of the skin can allow spots and stains to soak deeply.		Clean my garment now!
Lambskin- Lambskin garments have become increasing popular because of their "buttery smooth" feel. Popular in an assortment of colors and finishes, cleaning results can vary. Much of the soft feel comes from the use of belly skins. Skins taken from these are naturally wrinkled. They are stretched and have fillers applied during tanning. These wrinkles will become more apparent after cleaning. The top grain finishes hold up well to stains. The naked or nappa finishes can absorb stains, making it more difficult to process. Lighter color garments can sometimes become darker after cleaning because the garment will absorb excess oils that are used in the professional leather cleaning process.		Clean my garment now!
