My Calfskin and my lambskin gloves have been damaged by rain. Can this help restore them?

While this is an excellent product for conditioning and cleaner, I would say buy a new pair of gloves. Leather damaged by water is a loss. Like the other writer answered, you could try if you like. But I would forget paying for this and saving for another pair. Good luck.

Water is really bad for leather, it really dries it out and often times leaves water stains. This product can definitely help with putting back the needed hydration, but NOT sure if it will restore it though. Depending on how bad the leather is damaged, it might not completely restore it to its full beauty. If these gloves means a lot to you, I think it would be worth the try. You might need more than one application to put back the much needed hydration and moisture. Make sure each time, let it dry completely and then do another application. I had shoes that got pretty dried up because of rain and I had to do 2-3 applications. Hope this helps. Water is really bad for leather, it really dries it out and often times leaves water stains.

I had minor water stains and this removed stains and reconditioned. Pretty good stuff.

Depending on how severe the damage is due to the water/rain, the gloves might not return its soft texture. Just as George J said, it's great for minor stains and grimes, but it will not restore heavy damaged leather items due to water. Because of that, it's always better to condition leather items regularly so that in case it does get wet from rain, the stains are not that deep. In addition, if you live in an area where it rains a lot, you might want to consider using a water proofing spray, like the Suede and leather protector in our line.

The answer isn't as simple as yes or no. This product will help with keeping your boots water resistant. Meaning if you walk through the rain you will be fine, but it will not keep your feet dry if you walk through a stream or river. The point of the conditioner is to make your leather still breathable and flexible while adding a layer of protection. They claim that other water proofer's will not allow leather to breathe making your feet warmer if you wear the boots in the summer. I've used both waterproofer and conditioner before and each has it's own place, but this product has kept my good western boots in great shape for about a year now.

Probably...I would wait until it is dry and see if you notice a difference. I used it in an area that was covered and noticed that it did work but eventually it did get rained on.

Not sure, but I doubt it...already sprayed mine with Camp Dry anyway....love these gloves

It should take care of the dryness problem and perhaps the gray color if it is due to a accumulation of soil which the Meltonian will clean away. It will not do much for the existing cracking of the leather but can prevent further damage.

I was in the rain last night and it performed well. I would add this word of caution; Proceed carefully when in slippery conditions and avoid walking in them when you can.

I would definitely try it! Use the Apple cleaner first and be sure to follow directions closely. I have had no problems with all of my leather articles.

Yes, if you are able to, let it soak in for as long as possible. Especially if your leather is old & dry.

Worked well with my LVs and other leather purses. Not sure about Lambskin! Love the product!

It didn't damage my Marino wool sweaters, which are quite delicate. But for a blanket is get a larger shaver. They make shavers for blankets and larger items.

I think that this should work well for this repair. Even if it is on the bottom where water repellent is important. This has worked very well on my rain fly

I have learned the hard way that those 'scratches' (I call them rain rot) are linked to the immunity of the horse, even including certain parts of the horse. I couldn't figure out why my lovely old gelding kept getting them in the leg he was so injured ... duh!.... What got rid of them (or dented them) is 40% (FORTY %) Zinc Oxide, mixed with triple antibiotic ointment with cortisone cream. I just get a big tube of each and mix them up. I also add some DMSO, any kind of anti-fungal is good, too. Don't wash it first, it really hurts them. I slather that all over his leg and just leave it. After a week or so of that, then I start rubbing with a soft towel and bathe it when it's healed enough not to hurt. I've learned that they're extremely painful. My poor horse! That does do the trick though, and finally it gets very soothing to them, too. Good luck!

I would recommend looking for a Gore-Tex glove for the situation you are asking about. They will be truly water proof and more durable.

My gloves are totally waterproof. However if you get the fleece liner wet inside the gloves you need to turn them inside out to dry them.

They work well for fruit leather. It totally depends on what you are drying

It will help cover them but not fill them. You can buy a filling compound if the scratches have damaged the surface of the leather. There are many automotive products and kits around for this kind of repair.
