Leather

At Your Dressmaker, we handcraft many of our historical reenactment accessories out of real, authentic leather. These high quality leather accessories include belts, bags, and arm bracers, and we also use leather as trim on some of our clothing items. Here you can order a swatch of the leather we use to get a real feel for the material before you order your next medieval accessory or clothing piece. We use cowhide leather for most of our leather accessories, and we use a lightweight suede leather in clothing applications. Both are available in multiple colors. To clean our cowhide leather, use a damp cloth to wipe the material. Do not soak the material. Allow it to fully dry. Leather conditioner may be used, though be sure to test it first on a small section to see if it will change the color of your leather. If suede becomes dirty, it is best to rub another part of the suede on the dirty spot. Do not use water or leather conditioner on suede unless specifically stated on the individual piece.
