- For the leather fittings, remove dirt with a hard brush, then gently clean with leather soap and a soft, damp cloth.

These are so cool when paired with the steel splint arm guards. Rivets are solid, leather feels good, aglets are a nice touch. I reinforced the top arming points with some brass grommets for longevity’s sake. Great piece.
