leather holster in summer

[climbtothebeet]

Ive had the same crossbreed holster for 5 years. Its been a great holster. I carry it 6 days a week at least. Come summer months the leather has become funky and stinks. Smells alot like me in the heat. Lol. Any tips on cleaning these?

My Tucker "The Answer" is lined with suede on the back. I just use suede shoe cleaner whenever mine starts getting funky.

A little baby powder /corn starch, scrub with a tooth brush....and you can still use the tooth brush , later,,,,,

I've had success with silicone boot dressing, and more recently- Generic Camp-Dry silicone waterproofing spray. Spray until wet, let dry in the sun and repeat until it won't take any more. Wipe off excess from the Kydex and let dry overnight. No more sweat soaked leather backing for my CB Supertuck.

PS- Maybe not so good for actual leather holsters, can make them stretch enough to lose retention.

Clean with good ol fashioned saddle soap and warm water. Treat with some Black Rock leather paste. Repeat as necessary.

Agree may not be good for (custom?) all leather holsters.
