Having shelled out some really hard earned cash, a lot of it, on leathers I was wondering what the best way to clean them was? Are they dry clean only or can you do them at home? I mean the outside can be wiped down easy enough but after a couple of weeks daily use, they cant be that err ... hygenic How often do you get them cleaned?

Also can anyone recommend any leather alteration people in surrey (Woking way) as I made them fatal error of buyinbg new while losing a little weight?

I can recommend someone in Wandsworth, if that's any good...

Cleaning - If they're special, expensive leathers, I'd expect them to come with cleaning instructions.

Failing that, everyone has their own ideas. Some people chuck 'em in the wash.

I can find a fair few people doing alterations locally, just wondered if anyone had used any, so wandsworth might be a bit out of the way but thanks anyway - gonna need to sort out the saggy arse on the trousers at some point
