Members TinyL Posted January 15, 2011 Members Report Posted January 15, 2011 How would you take care of ostrich skin if it was on a motorcycle seat? Thanks in advance. Quote
Members Leatherimages Posted January 15, 2011 Members Report Posted January 15, 2011 Ostrich is a very tough leather. The tensile strength of the grain is unbelievable. But the inner fibers are very long. And not tight by any means. So care is needed. As much as possible, keep it out of the direct sunlight. There are many choices for conditioners. I like Bee Natural's product line, their Leather Amour is a great all around leather conditioner. Using it monthly should do the job for a long time.

Members TinyL Posted January 16, 2011 Author Members Report Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks for the reply Paul. I appreciate it very much. Would I need to do anything special to waterproof as well, or would the conditioner do the job? I have a customer that wants an ostrich seat with a tooled center inlay so I just want to be able to tell him how to care for the seat Thanks again!Chris Quote
