Gifted this breast collar to my brother Dec 2020. The thing has been used and abused. No oil, never cleaned, and improperly stored for months in the AZ sun and weather. The mohair is black and still looks great!! One of the tugs finally broke so it needed some TLCβ¦.made a new set of tugs, gave it a good oil, and quick wash. I am sure the center strap will give at some point and the mohair feels a little rough but overall, itβs surviving the ultimate tests!! π
while you donβt need to wash your mohair often, be sure to keep it indoors, away from rodents/cats/dogs, and oil your leathers.
Brandi Watson generator picked #32!
Itβs Spring time, wash your cinches or allow them to bake in the sun to kill any bacteria/fungus that might be lingering.
Spring is here and now is a great time to wash your cinches! Hair on the back side is completely ok!
Remove leather keeper.
Soak in cool or room temp water for 10 mins. Plain water or with woolite.
Massage heavily haired, sweaty, or dirty areas between fingers then swirl around in the water for 30 sec or so.
Rinse thoroughly in cool or cold water.
Squeeze and release from top to bottom to remove excess water.
Lay flat between a towel and stand on it to remove as much water as possible.
Lay in indirect sunlight until dry. Or you can lay in direct sunlight for 4-5 hrs bottom side up and then place in indirect sunlight. I prefer direct sunlight to kill anything that may linger.
Mohair is much like clothesβ¦.be sure your pieces are laid out flat and smooth after washed so they dry nicely.
