Members kcecil17 Posted August 4, 2014 Members Report Posted August 4, 2014 I just bought a saddle with white buck stitching and it came with a matching breast collar. The buck stitch is supposed to be white but it turned yellow. I don't know if it's from age or if the previous owner put something on it. Any ideas on how to clean it? I can't seem to find anything online!! Quote
Members Saddlebag Posted August 18, 2014 Members Report Posted August 18, 2014 It may be a plastic which encases thin cardboard. If so, anything you put on it will come off. If a soft toothbrush and soap doesn't remove it I'm afraid you're stuck with it the way it is. Quote
Members kcecil17 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Members Report Posted August 18, 2014 Thank you! I ended up taking it to a local tack shop that also does leather work so he's going to take it apart and add new buckstitch! So it will be good as new. Quote
Members Saddlebag Posted September 5, 2014 Members Report Posted September 5, 2014 I hope you removed the old stitching. I did that on a bridle and it came as a surprise how time consuming it was. I didn't bother to relace it as once it was soaped and oiled, the slits seemed to close right up. Quote
