The qualities of leather created by Nature and preserved
by the tanner are superior to those of any man-made
synthetic material.
Restores even older stiff, dried-out leathers
Leather’s beauty, breathability, flexibility and strength
make it possible to achieve leather articles coveted by
people the world over.
Leather Therapy has changed
the leather care category among
the trade, consumers and leather care
professionals world-wide

Dries with a soft sheen and enhances original color
Award winning Leather Therapy was initially developed to
focus its energy on the interior corium, thereby working from
the “inside-out” to maintain leather’s rare qualities. It has
proven itself in the equestrian marketplace - where a person’s
life can depend on the maintenance of leather equipment,
boots, etc. - and was rated “best” leather care conditioner.
Wherever leather is important - from museum projects
and Civil War originals to the U.S. Congress, Disney World
or Motorsports Racing - Leather Therapy proves time and
again its claim that Leather Therapy works hard, so you
won’t have to.

“Leather Therapy
was the clear winner.
We liked its ease of
penetration, complete
absorption and the fact
it didn’t change leather
color. Plus, Leather
Therapy’s promise of
mildew resistance clearly
puts it over the top.”

knows that tack demands proper maintenance so that even
with rugged use, leather will last a lifetime without showing
signs of wear and tear. To retain the beauty of leather and
its other unique qualities requires replacing the natural
lubricants lost during normal use.
Why Leather Needs Care
Until now, most leather care products fell short. Soaps and
some topical preparations may be alkaline (pH above 7)
and can break down leather fiber. Soaps can leave behind a
soap scum or residue while some treatments darken leather
or migrate, creating greasy spots that encourage mold and
mildew problems. Others are unable to lubricate the corium
of leather, the interior matrix that provides vital cushioning,
flexibility and where leather works hardest.

Increases leather strength and flexibility
Leather Therapy is NOT a leather cosmetic that sits on the
surface of leather but rather a hard working formula which
effectively gets absorbed into the interior corium of leather.
Independent testing conducted for a major US tannery by
the Leather Industries Research Laboratory at the University
of Cincinnati showed that “when tested (with controls) on
the Instron, Leather Therapy increased the tensile strength
of skirting leather 36% -- from 3600 lbs/sq.inch to 4900
lbs/sq.inch.”
“I’ve used many
products to help speed
the softening process
on leathers. I want
the highest comfort
level possible - from
the beginning. Leather
Therapy is the best I’ve
ever used to shorten the
break-in period and to
almost instantly supple
leather.”

How Leather Therapy Makes Leather Behave...Beautifully

hardening or darkening leather. Concentrated micro-suds lift out embedded
dirt leaving leather clean with a wonderfully soft feel. Imparts beneficial
lubricants to help keep leather strong and supple. No need to rinse out
- just wipe off. No residual build-up in tooling areas to worry about.
Biodegradable - Earth Friendly. WASH is pH balanced to compliment and
enhance the benefits of Restorer/Conditioner.
LEATHER THERAPY RESTORER/CONDITIONER

LEATHER THERAPY WATER REPELLANT
When there’s a need to guard leather from salt, water and the elements,
use this long-lasting leather protectant. A versatile, spray-on application
applied to clean, dry leather, shields smooth or suede leathers on your shoes
and tack. If Leather Therapy Finish is to be used on smooth leather, Water
Repellant should be applied first. Re-apply a light spray coat when leather
shows signs of water absorption.
LEATHER THERAPY FINISH
A professional NO-WAX product used to enhance and beautify smooth
leather items with a protective, flexible luster and shine. Use when
the presentation of your tack and boots are important in the show
ring – or for that display saddle in your living room. Not color-specific.

clean, dry leather with a soft sponge as the final step in creating
beautiful leather. Should not be used on suede or nubuck.

nap was restored.

Elizabeth Linnetz
Care Tip: If there is mold and/or moldy smells in your
clothing, simply add 2 oz. of Leather Therapy RESTORER to
the wash water, along with Leather Laundry Solution.
No more mold – no more odors.
Start With Clean Leather
Simply oiling tack is never good enough. Horse tack should
be cleaned after each use because dirt and horse sweat
mingle to create greasy grunge. This mix is a breeding
ground for bacteria and mold to begin the process of
destroying leather and weakening stitching. Ignoring this
important cleaning step can lead to torn straps and can also
transfer bacteria back to your horse causing irritating skin
problems.
How To Keep Leather In Good Condition
Keep Leather Well Maintained and Nourished
Without care, the elements and time will oxidize the
lubricants that keep leather supple. Then, as leather is
used, the dry fibers rub against each other creating friction,
causing the fibers to break, split or crack.
With Leather Therapy products, leather will regain a healthy
look and feel. After applying LEATHER THERAPY RESTORER,
within a few hours, even the driest, hardest leathers will be
noticeably more supple and, therefore, less likely to weaken
or split.
For Initial Treatment or Restoration: Apply LEATHER
THERAPY RESTORER to clean leather and allow to dry.
Leather will absorb what it needs to restore suppleness.
Drying time and number of applications will vary depending
on thickness and dryness of leather. Because of the
emulsifying effects of LEATHER THERAPY RESTORER, you
may notice residue coming to the surface. This is the deeply
imbedded grime of old saddle soaps or oils. Simply wipe
away with a damp sponge or lint-free cloth. LEATHER
THERAPY RESTORER will provide the necessary lubrication
and protection.

And Nourished

For On-Going Maintenance: To keep leather in great
shape, clean with WASH and, when necessary, use a lightly
dampened sponge to apply a small amount of LEATHER
THERAPY RESTORER. The rich blend of replenishing oils in
LEATHER THERAPY RESTORER go a long way. Use sparingly
for best results.
Always Protect Leather From Mold, Mildew and
The Elements
Mold and mildew loves moisture and is a relentless enemy
of leather. A hide is full of good food, such as protein,
humectants and sugars. Add a moist environment and high
temperatures, and leather becomes ripe for an invasion
of damaging spores. Harsh chemicals may control spores
but will ultimately weaken leather. LEATHER THERAPY
RESTORER is the perfect answer to protect leather from
mold and mildew while conditioning with its award
winning formula.
From Tack and Car Interiors to Baseball Gloves,
Leather Therapy Keeps Leather Looking and
Behaving Beautifully

sleeping bags and tents. And if you‘re a motorcycle rider,
you’ll take Leather Therapy wherever you go.
