Keeping The Smell Out Of Latigo

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've been making wrist cuffs out of Latigo and I wear what I make usually all day every day to see if what I'm making will take a beating.

After several weeks my cuffs have begun to smell. Smell like bare feet in leather shoes.

I tried to clean with Saddle Soap. That worked for a short period of time but now they're smelling again.

Any advice?

Thanks.

I don't have an answer, but I'd like to find something that works as well. I've tried soaking in scope mouthwash, I've tried those "enzyme" cleaners for removing pet odors, neither of which worked. Soaps just seem to mask the smell for a day or two.

Let me ask you this.... are you wearing the same cuff every day? If it is like shoes... (forget who told me this) they say to rotate your leather shoes and never wear them two days in a row. Shoes and boots need to dry out between wearings.

Did you seal the leather with anything? I've not used latigo so I'm not real familiar with it but I would think it would take a sealant like wyosheen or resoleen which would help keep the moisture from your skin from penetrating the leather in the first place.

Hope that helps a little.
