Care Instructions:
Pull up leather is known for its unique colour variations and the way it changes in appearance when stretched or pulled, creating a boot with highs and lows in tone.
The 'pull up' finishing technique infuses oils and waxes into the hide. The high oil content allows for lines and marks to form in the leather when it is pulled, rubbed or flexed as the oil moves around the hide.
Pull up leather starts as aniline leather - it is treated with transparent, water-soluble dye that permeates the leather's fibres. Aniline leather does not have a pigment coating on the surface of the leather which showcases the natural texture and features of the leather.
After the aniline dye is applied, pull-up leather receives an additional treatment with oils and waxes.
Cleaning
Light marks and scratches can be rubbed out of the leather by rubbing with clean, warm fingertips. This replaces the oil where it has displaced as per the 'pull up' characteristics of this leather.
Applying a very small amount of R.M.Williams Leather Conditioner into the mark or scratch is an effective way to remove it.
Note: this may initially darken the appearance of the leather due to the additional oils being absorbed
Polishing
- Use R.M.Williams Stockman's Natural Boot Polish to protect and maintain the look of your boots.
- Apply R.M.Williams Stockman's Natural Boot Polish with a clean cloth and rub in well.
- Allow polish to rest on the surface and penetrate leather for a minute.
- Finish with a buffing brush to obtain a high shine.
Note: pull up leather doesn't require frequent polishing.
Conditioning
R.M.Williams Leather Conditioner should be applied sparingly and gently. With a soft, clean cloth to revive the luster of the leather.
- Apply R.M.Williams Leather Conditioner evenly and sparingly on pull up leathers with a clean cloth or hands.
- Allow the conditioner to penetrate leather for approximately half an hour and then buff using a clean, dry, soft cloth in a back and forward motion.
Note: this may initially darken the appearance of the leather due to the additional oils being absorbed.
Note: be careful not to over condition; leather also needs to breathe. We recommend conditioning your leather boots every 2-3 months, no matter how often you clean or polish them.
