Cowhide: Naturally stain resistant and water repellent, cowhide can withstand use in the rain. If cleaning is needed, spot clean with a damp towel or take to a professional cleaner. Never submerge in water. Some initial shedding may occur around cut edges, but this will diminish with time.
Leather: Leathers are treated to handle rain and everyday use. If desired, you may apply a protective leather spray. Spot clean with a damp towel as needed, but never submerge in water.
