Pecard query

[PeterRocco]

I've used Pecard's dressing a lot, but I'm wondering if there is something better, especially for leather jackets. I like the black one which has dye for the black moto jackets, but how about dressing for browns or other colors. I understand that adding an oil product might change the color and I'm ok with that. I see some folks here use Obenauf's, so I might give it a try. The last thing I want is a sticky, full of residue jacket.

Pecards makes a Brown Tint Conditioner also. Just used it on my Schott 618 in Brown Leather. I have used their Black Conditioner with Good Results. But I just found out about Doc Baleys Black
Leather Conditioner it has no harmful ingredients has Lanolin like Bick 4 but they don’t make it for Brown Leather.

I’ve been using Pecards Leather Lotion on all my leather for years. It’s an excellent product. It cleans and conditions—which is fantastic for motorcycle jackets, gloves and boots—it takes off the bugs and grime and rehydrates the leather all in one pass. An extra bonus is it leaves your jacket smelling like new leather.

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to find up here in Canada.

I ran out a while back, and picked up some Bick 4. I like it, but it doesn’t smell as nice as Pecards.

Pecards and Liked it. Can you order from Amazon?

Surprised you can’t find it in Canada. I think they make Pecards in Northern Minnesota.. not too far away… Or maybe Wisconsin

I’ve looked at Amazon, unfortunately, for the Leather Lotion it’s a mental price.

Yeah, it’s weird. I’ve been to horse tack stores that carry pretty much every leather care product under the sun, but no Pecards. Same with cobblers… lots of different products… no Pecards.

Even online, the Leather Lotion all comes from the US at outrageous prices.

If I take a trip down to the US, I’ll pick up a large container—that’s what I’ve done in the past. But you never know when you’re going to get dinged with import taxes at the border—but it’s still a hundred times better than forking out $80.00++ for that little bottle!!

You can order it …

 

[Yango]

No need to yell.

The shipping direct from Pecards is more than the cost of the product.

And this doesn’t include any duty/import taxes (which can also be close to the cost of the product).

If you know of a cheaper way to get it delivered to Canada, please let me know.

 

[TREEMAN]

LOL… Nobody’s yelling.

 

[Peacoat]

@Yango Don't get the Leather Care Lotion. Just get the standard Pecard dressing. Surely it isn't that much. And it is Pecard, not Pecards or Pecard's. A common mistake on the board.

Or, there are others that are good and may be available. Ko-Cho-Line is a Carr, Day and Martin product from Great Britain.

Effex Lederbaslm is German, and Bienenwachs is also German. I have used all three of those on my saddles and tack with good result.

I also use Lexol on my tack. Keeps it soft and supple.

The only time I use any conditioner on my jackets is when a motorcycle jacket gets soaked in the rain and dries stiff. Otherwise I leave them alone. As Aero says, they shouldn't need any conditioner for 20 years or so.

Hi
I just used the Brown Pecard on a B-3 Leather Coat. It looks very shinny now. Does that high shine go away? Thanks.

I ordered Pecard when I visited New York. It was $18, the shipping from factory to hotel, $12. Pecard was one of those things I wanted to buy there in order to avoid the expensive sending and taxes to Spain.

Hi
Did you like it? I just find a shinny finish after I apply it?

Yes! I don't apply very often, but when I do, I like the result. As @Al 916 says, Pecard vanishes when soaks in the leather. I apply it in circular movements, and not too much product.

 

[Al 916]

I have only used the antique (effectively vaseline) it soaks in and moistens the hide (same as it works to moisturise your hands). The leather will absorb as much as it needs then wipe off the excess. As it dries the shine goes.

I have not used the colour versions. I expect they are a bit like URAD which has some sort of topcoat.

Thank You for sharing your experiance with it.

Hi all... I just ordered some Pecards online to use with my new-ish jackets (ELC and Aero, plus some a few others) but I seem to have ordered the wrong version of Pecards - I got the Antique dressing rather than the standard one.

Any harm in using this, or does it have some special mojo for restoring old leather that it shouldn't be used on new ones?

I just used Pecards Dressing on a 1990’s Willis and Geiger M445 Sheepskin Jacket. Used lightly after applied there was a Shine but after I wipe it down in a Day it should be less shinny.

Does anybody know a supplier of Pecards within the EU? I previously bought it from the UK but they have stopped shipping to the EU now.

Hi. Sorry I don’t. Can you give the company a call? What about on Amazon?

 

[semolina_pilchard]

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. Amazon here doesn't stock it, and I called the Company last week and they won't ship it out since Brexit.

I am using Stackry to send over a couple of jackets so I just ordered direct from Pecards in the US and then it can be packaged up with my jackets and sent over in one package.
