To properly lotion your Hestra leather gloves, apply a light, even coat of leather balm to all leather surfaces using a polishing cloth.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Gather Your Supplies: You'll need Hestra Leather Balm (or a similar high-quality leather conditioner specifically designed for gloves) and a soft polishing cloth.
-
Prepare the Gloves: Ensure your gloves are clean and dry before applying any lotion. Remove any dirt or debris.
-
Apply the Balm: Using the polishing cloth, apply a small amount of the leather balm to the gloves. Use light, even strokes. Focus on areas that experience a lot of wear and tear, such as the areas between your fingers and any creases or seams.
-
Work it In: Gently massage the balm into the leather, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
-
Wipe off Excess: After allowing the balm to absorb for a few minutes, use a clean portion of the polishing cloth to wipe away any excess lotion.
-
Allow to Dry: Let the gloves air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
Regularly applying leather balm will keep your Hestra gloves supple, water-resistant, and extend their lifespan.
